假设我有一个这样的设置
phd/code/
phd/figures/
phd/thesis/
由于历史原因，这些都有自己的git存储库。但是我想把它们合并成一个，这样可以简化一些。例如，现在我可能要做两组更改，并且必须做一些类似的事情
cd phd/code
git commit
cd ../figures
git commit
(现在)只要能表演就好了
cd phd
git commit
似乎有几种方法可以使用子模块或从我的子存储库中提取，但这比我想要的要复杂一些。至少让我满意的
cd phd
git init
git add [[everything that's already in my other repositories]]
但这似乎不是一句俏皮话。git中有什么可以帮助我的吗?

Actually, git-stitch-repo now supports branches and tags, including annotated tags (I found there was a bug which I reported, and it got fixed). What i found useful is with tags. Since tags are attached to commits, and some of the solutions (like Eric Lee's approach) fails to deal with tags. You try to create a branch off an imported tag, and it will undo any git merges/moves and sends you back like the consolidated repository being near identical to the repository that the tag came from. Also, there are issues if you use the same tag across multiple repositories that you 'merged/consolidated'. For example, if you have repo's A ad B, both having tag rel_1.0. You merge repo A and repo B into repo AB. Since rel_1.0 tags are on two different commits (one for A and one for B), which tag will be visible in AB? Either the tag from the imported repo A or from imported repo B, but not both.
git-stitch-repo helps to address that problem by creating rel_1.0-A and rel_1.0-B tags. You may not be able to checkout rel_1.0 tag and expect both, but at least you can see both, and theoretically, you can merge them into a common local branch then create a rel_1.0 tag on that merged branch (assuming you just merge and not change source code). It's better to work with branches, as you can merge like branches from each repo into local branches. (dev-a and dev-b can be merged into a local dev branch which can then be pushed to origin).

git-filter-branch解决方案工作得很好，但请注意，如果你的git repo来自SVN导入，它可能会失败，并发出如下消息:
Rewrite 422a38a0e9d2c61098b98e6c56213ac83b7bacc2 (1/42)mv: cannot stat `/home/.../wikis/nodows/.git-rewrite/t/../index.new': No such file or directory
在这种情况下，你需要从过滤器分支中排除最初的修订——即将最后的HEAD更改为[SHA of second revision]。头部-见:

我创造了一个工具来完成这项任务。使用的方法是类似的(内部做一些东西，如——filter-branch)，但更友好。是GPL 2.0

合并mainProject中的secondProject:
A)在第二个项目中
git fast-export --all --date-order > /tmp/secondProjectExport
B)在主项目中:
git checkout -b secondProject
git fast-import --force < /tmp/secondProjectExport
在这个分支中完成你需要做的所有繁重的转换并提交它们。
C)然后回到主分支和两个分支之间的经典合并:
git checkout master
git merge secondProject
你建议的顺序
git init
git add *
git commit -a -m "import everything"
将工作，但您将丢失提交历史。
借助IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition中的git集成，我手动将3个git存储库合并为一个。
Create a new repo, add a new commit to the master branch with an empty README.md file. Add three remotes for the new repo, using the name of the 3 repositories and the remote URL of them respectively. Run Git Fetch. Create a new local branch named temp based on the master branch, so we can start over without pollute the master branch. Checkout the temp branch. Select to only show commits of one remote branch(one repository). Select all the commits and right click to Cherry-Pick them. Create directory structure for this repository, then move the files into it and commit. Repeat the step 4 to 6 for the other 2 remote branch(repository). When everything is OK, merge all the changes in the temp branch into master branch.
然后添加主分支的原始远程URL并推送到它。
