Explain how you’d migrate from SVN or Mercurial to Git.

Short answer: Migrating involves preserving history, branches, and tags. Steps (SVN example): Install Git SVN: git svn clone -trunk=trunk -branches=branches --tags=tags

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest’s team uses GitHub PRs with reviews and CI checks so broken builds never reach production unnoticed.

Say this in the interview
