cd repository1


  1. Add the other repository as a remote:
1
git remote add repository2 <repository2_URL>


  1. Fetch the files from the other repository:
1
git fetch repository2


  1. Check out the branch or commit where the files you want to map are located:

git checkout repository2/branch_name


  1. List the files in the other repository that you want to map over to the current repository:
1
git ls-files


  1. Copy the file(s) from the other repository to the current repository:
1
git checkout repository2/branch_name -- path/to/file


  1. Add and commit the changes:
