Back in 2017 when I built my very first WordPress plugin I had trouble uploading it to WordPress.org because I’ve never used SVN before. As a Git guy I’ve never worked with SVN before and at the time I was searching all over the web for some Git to SVN command reference.
I’m sharing this now mostly for me, but also in hope that someone else might find this reference useful also. 🙂
