Git

How can I use Git for my ports tree?

See the "Syncing with Git" HOWTO.

GitHub

Where can I find the MacPorts source now?

As part of the migration, we have split our monolithic Mac OS Forge repository into smaller repositories on GitHub. The svn2git rules used for the conversion are available on Clemens Lang's GitHub.

Mac OS Forge GitHub ("master" branch unless otherwise noted)
trunk/base macports-base.git
trunk/base/portmgr/jobs macports-infrastructure.git, "jobs" directory
trunk/doc macports-guide.git, "doc-old" branch
trunk/doc-new macports-guide.git
trunk/dports macports-ports.git
trunk/dports/PortIndex* deleted
trunk/www macports-www.git
contrib macports-contrib.git
contrib/MacPorts_Framework pallet.git, "MacPorts_Framework" directory
contrib/Pallet pallet.git, "Pallet" directory
contrib/buildbot macports-infrastructure.git, "buildbot-mpab" branch, "buildbot" directory
contrib/buildbot-test macports-infrastructure.git, "buildbot" directory
contrib/mp-buildbot mpbb.git
contrib/mpab mpbb.git, "mpab" branch
users/* separate repository at macports/macports-user-*.git
users/{dluke,jberry,pipping} deleted (exceeds GitHub size limit, only contains old files)
branches/* branch of the appropriate repository
distfiles/* deleted
downloads/* deleted
tags/* annotated tag in the appropriate repository

Cloning URLs and GitHub Desktop links are available on each repository's GitHub page.

Trac

How can I associate my old tickets with my new Trac account?

When you log into the new Trac site, references to your GitHub email addresses are converted to your new Trac account. Thus, your new account only inherits reporter/owner/Cc status for email addresses you've added to GitHub.

If you forgot about an address you used on the old Trac site, you can add it to GitHub at any time, log out of Trac, and log back in. The conversion is done by a periodic job, so it may not occur for a few minutes after login.
