I'm assuming that if I just want to move one file, I can move it to its own subdirectory and this will work? I believe it will appear to have been created at the point it was moved into the selected subdirectory.
If you want to select just one file, have a look at --index-filter in the filter-branch manpage. Is there any recipe on how I can follow renames? I think maintaining and curating history is one of the main points of git. About following renames: stackoverflow. Show 1 more comment. The 3way can be omitted. So I had to apply all patches one after another. Didn't work for me as at some point sha-hashes were missing. This helped me: stackoverflow. Unlike the "git log" approach, this option worked perfectly for me!
Tried different approaches for moving projects to new repo. This is the only one that worked for me. Can't believe that such a common task must be that complicated. Thanks for sharing Ross Hendrickson's blog. This approach worked for me. This is very elegant solution, however, again, it suffers from the same issue as all other solutions - It will NOT retain history past rename.
This becomes simpler by using git-filter-repo. Tapuzi Tapuzi 3 3 silver badges 6 6 bronze badges. Between the git remote add and the git merge you need to run git fetch to make the target repository aware of the changes in the source repository. This tool makes the process extremely simple. Alternatively, you may find a script like this helpful. This works for moving individual files too. In the git filter-repo command arguments just add a --path argument for each individual file or directory you want to move.

This script will not make any modifications to your original repo. If the dest repo specified in the map file doesn't exist, then this script will try to create it. I think also that keeping the directory names intact is tremendously important. Otherwise you will get extra renaming commits to the target repository.
Objective You want to move some or all files from one repository to another. You want to keep their history. But you do not care about keeping tags and branches. You accept limited history for renamed files and files in renamed directories.
Commit your working files rm. Reorganize file tree and update filename change in history [optional] Suppose you want to move these three files in this other repo can be the same repo. No need to git log --follow to access full history. WestCoastProjects This way will be easier in case you want to submit a pull request to the original repo. Taken from Git push everything to new origin.
I had a similar situation, but in my case what I just needed to do was, as suggested, but with https , like this:. I had a similar problem like that I had to change the folder directory before I could stage the changes to my repo.

Thanks — jackerman SebastianBlask I just messed around with this with two of my repos, and realized that there is a missing step that no one has ever seemed to notice, despite my getting upvotes on this for years.

You can do: git log --follow -- a but that won't show the changes other then in the merged history. ColinM ColinM Git 1. FrancescoFrassinelli, isn't that desirable? Bringing the history in is a feature of this method. FrancescoFrassinelli, if you don't want history, why not just do a regular copy?
I'm trying to figure out what would draw you to this method if not for the history -- that's the only reason I used this method! Since Git 2. Show 18 more comments. Noob experience: git version 2. Worked beautifully for my scenario. Oh this is fantastic. Linus managed to merge that repository into the Git repository in a way that it appears in the Git repository as if it had always been developed as part of Git, all the history is kept intact and it can still be developed independently in its old repository, with changes simply being git pull ed.
In particular, I guess nowadays one would use a gitk submodule, in that specific case. Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge. Thanks, I forgot about that. The subtree merge strategy, especially in conjunction with the git-subtree tool is a nice, maybe even superior alternative to submodules. The simple way to do that is to use git format-patch. Assume we have 2 git repositories foo and bar. HEAD This will add "[bar] " at the beginning of each commit message.
Damien R. If the original repository contained branches and merges, git am will likely fail. Minor gotcha: git am strips anything in [ ] from the commit message. So you should use a different marker than [bar] — HRJ. Did not work for me. This was after applying 11 patches out of This blog has a similar answer to a somewhat different question moving only selected files.
I see one disadvantage, all commits are added to the HEAD of the target repository. This paths used for example! Use yours instead!

Say you want to merge repository a into b I'm assuming they're located alongside one another : cd a git filter-repo --to-subdirectory-filter a cd..
