i have the following folder hierarchy: meta/thesis i had a repo for 'meta', and another for 'meta/thesis'. i continually updated the thesis repo, but not the 'meta' repo. just recently, i decided to update the meta repo. but, i wanted to include the commit history from the thesis repo. so, when in the meta dir, i simply called 'git pull thesis'
to my surprise, this put copies of all the subfolders within thesis into meta, ie, before i had meta/thesis/a and meta/thesis/b, and now i also had meta/a and meta/b. so, i deleted the redundant folders, and did a commit from the meta folder. when i pushed to github, the 'thesis' folder in meta had a funny icon, and listed the commit id from the 'thesis' repo. so, i would love to delete the thesis repo, both locally and remotely, and still keep the commit history in the 'meta' repo, and have it available remotely. if i do a 'rm -rf /thesis/.git', and delete it remotely, will i lose the commit history from the 'thesis' repo? many thanks, JoVo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
