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).
