Hi Gabby, If you are looking at a single directory / sub-tree of the main repo, then maybe have a look at the "Sub-tree merge" capability. I have not used it myself, but it sounds like it matches your use case.
[The main Git project uses it for merging in the git-gui and gitk repositories]. Philip ----- Original Message ----- From: Gabby Romano To: Git for human beings Sent: Monday, June 05, 2017 1:26 PM Subject: [git-users] patch git repo from another repo hi guys, I have repo A and repo B which is a subset of A by extracting folder related commits and creating a new repo out of it. since it was done with filter-branch there are new SHA1's and files paths had changed to some extent as well. my question is - if I would like to keep syncing repo B from repo A - what is the best way to do it ? I have tried using this - git --git-dir=<A.git folder> format-patch -k -1 --stdout <sha1> |git am -3 -k I got this - fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (<some path>). error: could not build fake ancestor I guess this is confusing to Git but I feel there should be a good way to do this. is there ?
