+
+This page documents the procedure suggested by Daniel James for adding Rene Rivera's Predef library to Boost.
+
+Thanks to Daniel for supplying this procedure!
+
+== Procedure ==
+
+A Boost Release Manager first sets up the {{{predef}}} repository in [https://github.com/boostorg boostorg on GitHub], and ensures that the library maintainer has push and pull access rights to it.
+
+{{{git@github.com:grafikrobot/boost-predef.git}}} is the exiting Git public repository used to develop the library.
+
+{{{
+# Create clone containing both repos:
+git clone git@github.com:boostorg/predef.git
+cd predef
+git remote add grafik git@github.com:grafikrobot/boost-predef.git
+git fetch grafik
+
+# Save old branches, so old checkouts of the main module
+# will still work:
+git tag svn-develop origin/develop
+git tag svn-master origin/master
+git push --tags
+
+# Replace master, keeping some files from the old repo:
+# (-B overwrite the local branch)
+git checkout grafik/master -B master
+git checkout svn-master -- .gitattributes index.html
+git commit -m "Add files required for boost"
+git push --force origin master
+
+# Replace develop with master as well,
+# as grafik/predef doesn't have a develop branch
+git checkout -b develop
+git push --force origin develop
+}}}
