A BASH script to copy a git repo's branch into a folder in a new repo with all the commits.

git repo archive as folder

This is a bash script to merge a branch from a remote repo into a directory of another remote repo while keeping the commit history.

Important Note

The destination repository will have more than one root commit, but usually that shouldn't pose a problem.

3 Step Installation

gitrepoarc is just a BASH shell script.

1. Grab (download, copy/paster, clone) gitrepoarc and put it somewhere that is included in your PATH.
2. If it isn't marked as executable, type chmod +x gitrepoarc to make it so.
3. I lied, there is no 3rd step.

Usage

  gitrepoarc SOURCE_REPO DESTINATION_REPO DESTINATION_FOLDER SOURCE_NAME [SOURCE_BRANCH]

The SOURCE_REPO will be "copied" to DESTINATION_REPO / DESTINATION_FOLDER / SOURCE_NAME

If SOURCE_BRANCH not specified master branch will be copied.
