How to move branch from one repository to another branch of different repository

Question

I created a new Repository (named repoN) with the existing one (named repoE), simply by copying code from the branch (named B22).

After that, I created a new branch in repoN (named BR01). Now I made some changes in the branch (named BR01) which exist in repoN repository.

I just want to take all those changes into the old repository repoE without loosing history of BR01 into B22.

I am using SourceTree because I'm new in Git and don't know much commands.

Answer 1

1. stand on your current repo you want to push from and checkout the branch you want to push
2. git remote add repoRemote https://bitbucket/repo/repo1.git
3. git push repoRemote -- will push your current branch to the remote repo you added in #3

Do we need to remove the destination repo with git remote remove repoRemote(not sure if the command is right) to switch to the existing repo once branch is transferred? – Foreside

Answer 2

At first you need to add to git your destination repository, lets call it repoE ( set remote tracking )

git remote set-url repoE https://github.com/USERNAME/repoE.git

then switch to branch your want to push, assume your branch called BR01

git checkout BR01

and push this branch to destination repository

git push repoE BR01

Answer 3

In SourceTree, it can be done by adding repoE to Repository->Add Remote so that you can push the changes in repoN to that repo.

Answer 4

Add the new remote URL: First, you need to add the new remote repository URL where you want to push your branch. You can do this using the git remote add command:

git remote add <remote_name> <remote_URL>


git remote -v
git push <remote_name> <branch_name>

Then direct to the new remote repository

git fetch
git checkout <branch_name>
