How to reorganize git tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was new to git about a year ago and created a git directory structure containing several different projects like:

/source/web_server1/project1
/source/web_server1/project2
/source/web_server1/project3
/source/web_server1/project4
/source/web_server2/project5
/source/web_server2/project6

where my massive .git repository is:

/source/.git (containing all the projects on all the web servers.... Oops!) There seems to be lots of "loose objects".

Somewhere along the way I figured out that this probably wasn't a good idea and I ended up making a git repository under one of the projects:

/source/web_server1/project4/.git

Not sure if that was the best decision either. I've already checked in changes to the /source/web_server1/project4/.git repository for project4 and I've checked in changes to project2 into the /source/.git repository.

Of course I now realize the errors of my way and would like to restructure.

the only changes that have been checked into the big upper level repository are changes for project2. Is it possible to carve out those changes from the /source/.git repository and create a new /source/web_server1/project2/.git repository?

Maybe the way to deal with this is to remove the other directories from the /source/.git repository and leave project2 there.

Any one have any suggestions?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place (I'm at work and they don't allow access to many places and I don't have access to the news group).

Thanks!
