I have code files from dozens of git repos in various subfolders under c:\code folder - 16Gb.

I want to migrate this folder to another computer. It's currently taking > 1 day to copy the entire folder to a USB drive, because it is around 650,000 small files.

Is there some script I can run to cleanup all of the repos in my c:\code folder?

CodePudding user response：

You can use git bundle to bundle each of the repositories full history into one file (per repository)

And you can zip the dozen of bundle into a giant tar file.

Result: only one (big) file to copy, and to untar.

You can then clone back your repositories from their respective bundle (cloning them from their bundle file).

You clone only lasted commit from your remote repository like

git clone --depth 1 https://url-of-your-repo
