git-merge-repo: Merge a repository's branch into the current repository's directory.
$ git merge-repo ${path-to-repo} ${branch_name} ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command merges a repository into another repository by incorporating the changes of a specific branch from the source repository into the target repository at a specific directory location.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • git merge-repo: This is the command used to initiate the repository merge.
  • ${path-to-repo}: This is the path to the source repository that is being merged into the target repository.
  • ${branch_name}: This is the name of the branch from the source repository that contains the changes to be merged.
  • ${path-to-directory}: This is the directory path within the target repository where the changes from the source repository will be merged into.

When you run this command, Git will fetch the changes from the specified branch of the source repository. It will then merge those changes into the target repository, specifically at the specified directory path. This allows you to selectively merge specific branches or directories from one repository into another.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
