How to switch from a subrepo development to a new repo keeping all the history?
Here is a realistic scenario with a bit simplified main actors:
There is a repo:
devicehereThere is a repo:
ourdevicehere
device is something developed by a third person.
ourdevice is my repo, which I created to work on further development of the device. I wanted to be able to do my own changes, but also be able to occasionally merge in the changes introduced by that third person. So I chose to go with subtree back then. This article was used as a reference heavily.
Now, I've come to a point where I am quite happy with my development of ourdevice and I'd like to embed ourdevice in a system developed for embedding the device. Unfortunately, there is that additional level of hierarchy: device is a subtree of the ourdevice, thus the folder structure in ourdevice is: ourdevice/device/-all-the-rest-.
I'd like to translate ourdevice into a new repo, be it BitBucket or GitHub by achieving both:
- removing that additional level of hierarchy, and
- keeping all the development history (commits, branches, everything) while working on
devicewithinourdevice.
Is there any way to do this? Thank you.
