Usage

$ git absorb help
GIT-ABSORB(1)

NAME
       git-absorb - Combines multiple repositories into one while preserving history

SYNOPSIS
       git absorb FOLDER...  [--clean | -c]

DESCRIPTION
       Combines  multiple  git  repositories into a single monolithic repository
       while still retaining the history from each repository. For example, this
       could  be  useful  for  backing up multiple GitHub classroom repositories
       into a single repository.

OPTIONS
       FOLDER Path to repository to merge into the current repository.

       -c, --clean
              Remove local cop(y)(ies) of  the  repositor(ies)(y)  being  merged
              into the current repository.

       -h, --help
              Display this menu.

Deprecated Options

• --combine-ignores
• --repository
  • This script assumes you are already in Git repository as Git extensions automatically assume. This options becomes redundant given this new usage mode.

v0.1.0

This is the initial version of this tool. Usage instructions can be found in README.md.

A revision that improves integration with Git is coming soon.
