How to designate a subdirectory in a repository belong to another repository with the history of the subtree repository belong to the main repository?










0















I have two repositories: repoA and repoB. repoA is my main repository and I want to pull repoB into repoA so that their histories get merged and whenever I update repoB independently, the new changes will get pulled to the the master repo (repoA. I know submodule is not the right way to do this since I cannot push any new changes to repoB independently. So I wonder what is the right way of doing this?



Here's a structure of what I want:



  • repoA

    • fileA # belongs to repoA

    • fileB # belongs to repoA

    • repoB
