function git-add-repo | |
{ | |
repo="$1" | |
dir="$(echo "$2" | sed 's/\/$//')" | |
pwd="$(pwd)" | |
tmp="$(mktemp -d)" | |
remote="$(echo "$tmp" | sed 's/\///g'| sed 's/\./_/g')" | |
git clone "$repo" "$tmp" | |
cd "$tmp" | |
git filter-branch --index-filter ' | |
git ls-files -s | | |
sed "s,\t,&'"$dir"'/," | | |
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" git update-index --index-info && | |
mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE" | |
' HEAD | |
cd "$pwd" | |
git remote add -f "$remote" "file://$tmp/.git" | |
git pull "$remote/master" | |
git merge --allow-unrelated-histories -m "Merge repo $repo into master" --edit "$remote/master" | |
git remote remove "$remote" | |
rm -rf "$tmp" | |
} | |
