How to rebase one repo to another

Question

Let\'s say I have two different repositories like so:

Project 1:
Init---A---B---C---HEAD1

Project 2:
Init---D---E---F---G---HEAD2

Is there a w

Answer 1

The solution I used was as follows:

• In Project 2:

  git format-patch  --stdout > /path/to/patch.diff
  

  Where refers to the first commit in the "from" repository you wish to merge to the "target".

• In Project 1:

  git am /path/to/patch.diff
  

This replays every commit from to HEAD in Project 2 onto Project 1.

This completely avoids the need for a common ancestor between the projects, as most git-specific tools require.
