I have created GitHub repository X and cloned locally.
Then I created directory A inside this project X by cloning another GitHub repository Y. Then I changed some files inside folder A in this project X.
Now I want to do add, commit and push this folder A to my GitHub remote of project X.
How do I remove hook to repository Y, and actually add folder A to repository X.
Thank you!
It depends a bit on what you want to do with this folder A. If you only want to have this one version/copy/snapshot of the A in your repository, then it’s rather simple. You only need to add the A files in the X repository and commit them. You can even remove the /A/.git folder to make the A subdirectory no longer a Git repository on its own.
If you want to preserve the history of A and want to keep it separate enough so you can, for example, make changes to A and save those to it, instead of keeping the changes only in the parent repository X, then you should look into submodules. They allow you to reference another repository A as a submodule within your existing repository X. So you link A into X but still keep A separate on its own.
.git folder at the root of your working directory. It keeps things simple ;)You can use submodules or subtree. They are more or less the same.
Read here to find out the differences between the 2.
The main idea is that you manage an inner folder as a "standalone" (repository or subtree)
