git merge different repositories?

Question

I\'ve been using SVN for all my projects. Sometimes project B is originating as a copy from project A. When project A has a generic change, I can use svn merge A

Answer 1

If you have two projects, proj1 and proj2 and want to merge changes of proj1 into proj2, you would do it like this:

# in proj2:
git remote add proj1 path/to/proj1
git fetch proj1
git merge proj1/master # or whichever branch you want to merge

I believe this does the same thing as what you were doing with SVN.
