I have created a bare git repo (lets call it repo #1) and cloned it.

  • In the clone (repo #2) I have created several folders, one of which I have decided to make a git repo (repo #3).
  • When I commit to repo #2, everything runs as expected exept that repo #3 is ignored (the .git folder, the files commit).

How can I add repo #3 to repo #2 so that when I push repo #2 to repo #1, I can make a seperate clone of repo #1 in which I can also access the history etc. of repo #3?

In other words. How do I create a git repository that contains another git repository?

    You shouldn’t do that. Metadata under .git/ is changed during repo lifetime and that changes not necessarily mean “changes in the content” that should be committed: simple git repack changes files under .git but that changes should not be committed. Why do you want to do that?
