First, sorry if the question was already answered, I didn't find an answer.

I have few git repositories and I want to put everything in a single repository.

I have that :

 ├── RepoOne
 │   └── someFiles
 │
 ├── RepoTwo
 │   └── someFiles
 │
 ├── RepoThree
 │   └── someFiles

And I want that :

 ├── BigRepo
 │   ├─── FolderOne
 │   │    ├── RepoOne
 │   │    └── RepoTwo
 │   │
 │   └─── FolderTwo
 │        └── RepoThree

But I want to keep the history of the old repo, their commits, etc..

How I can do that with git ? Thank you for the help.

Does this answer your question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1425892/how-do-you-merge-two-git-repositories? – adamfowlerphoto Apr 30 '17 at 11:38
@Spads I tried all the answers and it seems that none do what I want.. – R3J3CT3D May 03 '17 at 00:19
So git merge --allow-unrelated-histories doesn't work? – adamfowlerphoto May 03 '17 at 06:15
It works, but it puts all the contents of the repo A at the root of the repo B, not in a subfolder.. – R3J3CT3D May 03 '17 at 07:23
Funnily enough I have just come across a situation where I would like to do this. I'll get back to you if I find a solution – adamfowlerphoto May 03 '17 at 09:12
http://stackoverflow.com/a/20974621/7831758 worked for me. Create repo BigRepo in a separate folder tree from RepoOne etc and do as instructed. It does create the history in another branch but I'm happy with that. – adamfowlerphoto May 03 '17 at 09:56
Doing a git rebase -i HEAD~3 after each merge seems to merge the histories into the master branch – adamfowlerphoto May 03 '17 at 10:19
