💖 git-merge-repo(1) — the Git Extras era 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to git-merge-repo, part of Git Extras ✨ this one merges two whole repo histories together and it's genuinely iconic, no cap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-merge-repo — Merge two repo histories 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git-merge-repo <repo> <branch> <directory> [--squash]

like. that's the whole vibe. three args, one optional flag, we move 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what it does: it merges a repository's history with the current repository, and it does it inside a directory you specify. that's the main character energy right there 👑

The optional --squash flag is lowkey the "no thoughts just vibes" mode — it skips the full history and generates only one commit for the merge. one. single. commit. periodt. 💀

heads up bestie, --squash is optional, so if you don't pass it you get the whole full history, not the condensed one 🍓

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay watch this, merging a local repo's frontend branch into the current repo's web folder:

$ git merge-repo ../app/.git frontend web

and here's merging a remote repo's master branch into the current repo's folder — note the . for the directory, she's saying "right here thanks":

$ git merge-repo git@github.com:tj/git-extras.git master .

both of these? ate. 🔥
