Git: How to make outer repository and embedded repository work as common/standalone repository?

by

You can use below commands to add files from test2 repo to test repo as below:

# In local test repo
rm -rf test2
git clone https://github.com/eromoe/test2
git add test2/
git commit -am 'add files from test2 repo to test repo'
git push

Note:

You should use git add test2/ (with slash, not git add test2).

git add test2/ will treat test2 folder and it’s files as ordinary folder and file for test repo (create mode 100644).

git add test2 will treat test2 folder as a submodule for test repo (create mode 160000).
