How to Add Files From Another Git Repository?

To add files from another git repository, you first need to add the repository as a remote to your local repository. This can be done by using the command git remote add <name> <url> where <name> is a nickname for the remote repository and <url> is the URL of the remote repository.

Once you have added the remote repository, you can fetch the files from the remote repository using the command git fetch <name> where <name> is the name of the remote repository you added.

After fetching the files, you can merge the changes from the remote repository into your local repository using the command git merge <name>/<branch> where <name> is the name of the remote repository and <branch> is the branch you want to merge.

Alternatively, you can also directly pull the changes from the remote repository into your local repository using the command git pull <name> <branch> where <name> is the name of the remote repository and <branch> is the branch you want to pull.

By following these steps, you can successfully add files from another git repository to your local repository.
