Git Tutorials: Merge code between multiple repos
It is something you can do locally though, from your machine, the following way:
1. Assume you have repos https://bitbucket.org/my-workspace/repo-1/ and https://bitbucket.org/my-workspace/repo-2/, and you want to merge code from repo-2 to repo-1
Navigate to your local clone of repo-1
2. Add the second repo as a remote with a command like the following (I’m adding the SSHL URL; if you don’t use SSH, you can replace with the HTTPS URL:
git remote add second_remote git@bitbucket.org:my-workspace/repo-2.git
then
git fetch --all
3. Then create (in repo-1) a branch that tracks the remote branch from repo-2 you want to merge, named e.g. feature2-branch
git checkout -b feature2-branch --track second_remote/feature2-branch
4. If you wang to merge that to master branch of repo-1, then you can do
git merge master --allow-unrelated-histories
The –allow-unrelated-histories will be necessary if the repos have no common history, otherwise Git will refuse to make the merge.
