.git 文件夹可以复制或移动吗

Question

I have a folder called application which I intend to run GIT from. I will add all files, commit and upload as the master branch.

I also have a folder called application_new which is a later version of application and I would like to upload the differences as a later commit/push.

I started this project pre-git or thinking about it so my question is: If I copy the hidden .git folder from application to application_new will GIT automatically detect all the changes between my two versions? Or do I need to runs like a "refresh" for GIT to detect the differences?

Answer 1

You can copy git folder to whatever project you want and it will detect all changes. If that is later version of project I think it will go smooth as one commit.

Maybe only thing that you might want to pay attention is .gitignore file because if you changed it in meantime you can expect some unexpected behavior, but that should not be problem at all.
