问题
I have created a bare git repo (lets call it repo #1) and cloned it.
- In the clone (repo #2) I have created several folders, one of which I have decided to make a git repo (repo #3).
- When I commit to repo #2, everything runs as expected exept that repo #3 is ignored (the .git folder, the files commit).
How can I add repo #3 to repo #2 so that when I push repo #2 to repo #1, I can make a seperate clone of repo #1 in which I can also access the history etc. of repo #3?
In other words. How do I create a git repository that contains another git repository?
回答1:
You shouldn't do that. Metadata under .git/ is changed during repo lifetime and that changes not necessarily mean "changes in the content" that should be committed: simple git repack changes files under .git but that changes should not be committed. Why do you want to do that?
回答2:
I don't know how to do exactly what you are suggesting, but sub-modules probably come close (or as close as you are going to get). Here is a decent tutorial:

回答3:
see git submodule
i’ve never used it, so all i can do is post a link …
回答4:
I'm not a GIT pro by any means, but i think you are referring to git submodules
git submodule --help
回答5:
In your container repository root folder, just do:
git submodule add https://github.com/yourusername/containedrepo.git containedrepo
This will clone the containedrepo inside the /containedrepo directory. From now on, you should not make changes in the /containedrepo directory, but rather make changes in the containedrepo and then pull them. When you pull the main container repository, it will also pull all submodules repository, e.g. containedrepo.git.
