I'm currently switching over to using mono repos, since it fits my workflow better. However, I still want to be able to deploy/use parts of the now huge project separately. That is why I came across splitsh-lite (https://github.com/splitsh/lite), a replacement for git subtree.
So, my project structure of the main (mono) repository is as follows:
/
-- some-application/
-- src/
-- -- MyLibrary1/
-- -- MyLibrary2/
mono repo master
Using splitsh-lite, I've managed to extract the contents of the repository that I want to split into an own branch. Let's say I've split MyLibrary1:
/
-- file1
-- file2
mono repo split/library1
What I didn't manage to do now is getting this newly created branch into the master branch of a fresh repository on Bitbucket (or actually any Git repository). I've mainly tried two variations that seemed logical to me.
git push [email protected]:my-project/my-repo split/library1:master, resulting in error: unable to push to unqualified destination: master
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.git push ../library1 split/library1:master resulting in the same errorI'd appreciate any suggestions on how to continue from here, because I don't really how to go on from here. :(
Best regards
So, apparently the above commands should be working as intended. The issue however is, that Git is somehow not able to resolve "master" into an actual reference. The problem is solved by specifying the exact reference:
git push some-repo-path split/library1:refs/heads/master
Me and some guy from #git (freenode, thanks for helping, again!) couldn't figure out why Git couldn't do it, though, which is a little unsatisfying.
