How to rebase one repo to another

问题:

Let's say I have two different repositories like so:

Project 1: Init---A---B---C---HEAD1  Project 2: Init---D---E---F---G---HEAD2 

Is there a way to rebase Project 1 (Init to HEAD) to the Init commit of Project 2 so it looks like this:

Project 1 & 2:      A---B---C---HEAD1    / Init---D---E---F---G---HEAD2 

The content of Project 1 & Project 2 are similar. The main difference is that their file structure is slightly different like so:

Project1:  MyProject/     File1     File2     File3  Project2:  MyParentProject/     MyProject/         File1         File2         File3     SomeFolder/     SomeOtherFolder/     ...etc/ 

FYI: MyProject is not a submodule of MyParentProject. MyProject and MyParentProject exist in two separate locations as two separate git repositories.

回答1:

You could treat one as a remote repository to the other. In Project1, run these commands:

git remote add project2 <path_to_project_2> git fetch project2 git branch --track project2Branch project2/master git checkout project2Branch 

Use git log to find the hash for the initial commit of that branch (which is Project2). Then run

git checkout master # or whatever branch you want to rebase git rebase <hash-for-commit> 

You've now rebased Project1 with Project2. Since this sounds like a one time operation, where you'll then only be using the one repository, you can cleanup with

git remote rm project2 

So now your master branch is rebased with the init of Project2, and project2Branch has the rest of the history of Project2. It's sort of a hack, but it will do what you want.

回答2:

I think you could use git-filter-branch with the --parent-filter option.

回答3:

The solution I used was as follows:

• In Project 2:

  git format-patch <commit> --stdout > /path/to/patch.diff 

  Where <commit> refers to the first commit in the "from" repository you wish to merge to the "target".

• In Project 1:

  git am /path/to/patch.diff 

This replays every commit from <commit> to HEAD in Project 2 onto Project 1.

This completely avoids the need for a common ancestor between the projects, as most git-specific tools require.

回答4:

You can add the other repo to your current repo first as a remote and then do a rebase --onto to rebase a range of commits from one repo to a point of common commit in the first repo.

git remote add project2 <...> git checkout project2-master git rebase -s recursive -X theirs --onto \     project1-first-commit project2- start-commit project2-end-commit 

Roughly like that. Not that I also specify merge strategy to use the commits from project2 if there are conflicts. You may want to use something else. But here we assume that project2 is "correct" code and project1 is just a remote master.
