我们的Git存储库最初是一个大型SVN存储库的一部分,其中每个项目都有自己的树,如下所示:

project1/branches
        /tags
        /trunk
project2/branches
        /tags
        /trunk

显然,使用svn mv将文件从一个文件移动到另一个文件非常容易。但是在Git中,每个项目都在它自己的存储库中,今天我被要求将一个子目录从project2移动到project1。我是这样做的:

$ git clone project2 
$ cd project2
$ git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter deeply/buried/java/source/directory/A -- --all
$ git remote rm origin  # so I don't accidentally overwrite the repo ;-)
$ mkdir -p deeply/buried/different/java/source/directory/B
$ for f in *.java; do 
>  git mv $f deeply/buried/different/java/source/directory/B
>  done
$ git commit -m "moved files to new subdirectory"
$ cd ..
$
$ git clone project1
$ cd project1
$ git remote add p2 ../project2
$ git fetch p2
$ git branch p2 remotes/p2/master
$ git merge p2 # --allow-unrelated-histories for git 2.9+
$ git remote rm p2
$ git push

但这似乎相当复杂。有没有更好的方法来做这类事情呢?还是我采取了正确的方法?

注意,这涉及到将历史合并到现有的存储库中,而不是简单地从另一个存储库的一部分创建一个新的独立存储库(如前面的问题中所述)。


当前回答

在我的例子中,我不需要保存我正在迁移的回购,也不需要保存任何以前的历史记录。我用不同的遥控器,截取了同一根树枝的补丁

#Source directory
git remote rm origin
#Target directory
git remote add branch-name-from-old-repo ../source_directory

在这两个步骤中,我能够让另一个回购的分支出现在同一个回购中。

最后,我设置这个分支(我从另一个回购导入)遵循目标回购的主线(所以我可以准确地区分它们)

git br --set-upstream-to=origin/mainline

现在它的行为就好像它只是我在同一次回购中推的另一个分支。

其他回答

我发现Ross Hendrickson的博客很有用。这是一种非常简单的方法,您可以创建应用于新回购的补丁。更多细节请参见链接页面。

它只包含三个步骤(复制自博客):

# Setup a directory to hold the patches
mkdir <patch-directory>

# Create the patches
git format-patch -o <patch-directory> --root /path/to/copy

# Apply the patches in the new repo using a 3 way merge in case of conflicts
# (merges from the other repo are not turned into patches). 
# The 3way can be omitted.
git am --3way <patch-directory>/*.patch

唯一的问题是我不能一次性应用所有补丁

git am --3way <patch-directory>/*.patch

在Windows下,我得到了一个InvalidArgument错误。所以我不得不一个接一个地打补丁。

是的,点击filter-branch的——subdirectory-filter是关键。您使用它的事实本质上证明了没有更简单的方法—您别无选择,只能重写历史,因为您希望最终只得到文件的一个(重命名的)子集,而这根据定义改变了哈希值。由于没有任何标准命令(例如pull)重写历史,因此您无法使用它们来完成此任务。

当然,您可以细化细节—您的一些克隆和分支并不是严格必要的—但是总体方法是好的!遗憾的是它很复杂,但是git的意义当然不是让重写历史变得容易。

在我的例子中,我不需要保存我正在迁移的回购,也不需要保存任何以前的历史记录。我用不同的遥控器,截取了同一根树枝的补丁

#Source directory
git remote rm origin
#Target directory
git remote add branch-name-from-old-repo ../source_directory

在这两个步骤中,我能够让另一个回购的分支出现在同一个回购中。

最后,我设置这个分支(我从另一个回购导入)遵循目标回购的主线(所以我可以准确地区分它们)

git br --set-upstream-to=origin/mainline

现在它的行为就好像它只是我在同一次回购中推的另一个分支。

试试这个

cd repo1

这将删除除上述目录之外的所有目录,仅为这些目录保留历史记录

git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --ignore-unmatch --cached -qr -- . && git reset -q $GIT_COMMIT -- dir1/ dir2/ dir3/ ' --prune-empty -- --all

现在,您可以在git远程中添加新的repo并将其推到该位置

git remote remove origin <old-repo>
git remote add origin <new-repo>
git push origin <current-branch>

添加-f来覆盖

我想要一些健壮和可重用的东西(一个命令行+撤销函数),所以我写了下面的bash脚本。我用过几次,所以我想在这里分享一下。

它能够将任意文件夹/路径/to/foo从repo1移动到/some/other/folder/bar到repo2(文件夹路径可以相同或不同,与根文件夹的距离可能不同)。

由于它只遍历输入文件夹中涉及文件的提交(而不是源回购的所有提交),即使在大的源回购上,如果你只是提取一个在每次提交中都没有触及的嵌套很深的子文件夹,它也应该相当快。

因为这样做是创建一个带有所有旧的回购历史的孤立分支,然后将其合并到HEAD,它甚至可以在文件名冲突的情况下工作(当然,然后您必须在最后解决合并)。

如果没有文件名冲突,您只需要在最后提交git来完成合并。

缺点是它可能不会遵循文件重命名(REWRITE_FROM文件夹之外)在源repo - pull请求欢迎GitHub来适应这一点。
