Can a repository have multiple projects?

Can a repository have multiple projects?

Solution 1 A single repository can contain multiple independent branches, called orphan branches. Orphan branches are completely separate from each other; they do not share histories. This creates a new branch, unrelated to your current branch. Each project should be in its own orphaned branch.

How do I move multiple repositories at once?

The basic idea is that we follow these steps:

  1. Create a new empty repository New.
  2. Make an initial commit because we need one before we do a merge.
  3. Add a remote to old repository OldA.
  4. Merge OldA/master to New/master.
  5. Make a subdirectory OldA.
  6. Move all files into subdirectory OldA.
  7. Commit all of the file moves.

When would you need multiple remotes?

It is easy to synchronize code between multiple git repositories, especially, pushing to multiple remotes. This is helpful when you’re maintaining mirrors / copies of the same repository. All you need to do is set up multiple push URLs on a remote and then perform git push to that remote as you usually do.

How to choose between one project per repository?

Choosing between “one project per repository” vs “multiple projects per repository” architecture. In our company, we have modularised most of the projects and are facing one of the biggest design hurdles: one project per repository or multiple projects per repository architecture.

When do you need to use multiple Git repositories?

You should use multiple Git repositories if your codebase is too large to maintain in a single Git repository. Git can’t scale to handle 10s of thousands of users or 100s of petabytes of data in one repository. Using a monorepo works well if you use ClearCase, SVN, or Perforce Helix Core. But using one big monolithic repository won’t work in Git.

Can a project be split into multiple Repos?

Multiple repo’s can almost always be grouped in software (e.g. BitBucket), but multiple projects in one repo cannot easily be “split” anymore. Furthermore, working on one projects out of a multiple-project-repo requires you to checkout all of the projects.

Is it possible to have multiple repositories in Java?

In many environments I have worked in, a multi-repository approach has been a reasonable solution, but the decision of how many repositories to have, and where to make the cuts has not always been an easy one to make.
