在移动GIT存储库时保留GIT提交的历史记录

Question

I have two GIT projects A and B(empty project). I want to move the entire project A into project B and preserve the history of commits while moving all the files from A to B.

What's an efficient way to do this using GIT ? I tried using git filter-branch but seems like I am not doing it the right way as it gives me "fatal...xyz/is outside repository". Could someone give some pointers ?

Thanks !

Here is the complete workflow described in our question's comments.

I assume that you want to push the entire history of branch master from Project A to Project B .

1. Project B folder > Initialize the git repo:

   git init

2. Project A folder > Add Project B repo as a new remote:

   git remote add remoteb <urlToB>

3. Project A folder > Checkout the appropriate branch (if required):

   git checkout master

4. Project A folder > Push the entire history of branch master to remoteb :

   git push -u remoteb master

If you want additional information about the git push command and parameters, you can find the official documentation here: git push Documentation
