git clone multiple p4 paths in one git repo

Question

I know that if I need to clone a perforce an existing p4 repository using command ``` git p4 clone //depot/path/project ``` But what if I want to multiple p4 paths into one git repo? say I have the following structure ``` //depot---/Path1----/APath/... | | | | | --/BPath/... | | ---/Path2----/CPath/... | | ---/Path3 ``` I only want to clone files under //depot/Path1/APath/ and //depot/Path2/CPath/ in my local directory ~/Desktop/mylocalRepo/ how to do it?

Accepted Answer

The solution that I found was clonning different Perforce paths into different Git repositories and later merge them into a new repository while keeping the history.

```
//depot/Projects/A
...
//depot/Projects/C
//depot/Projects/...
```

Clonning Perforce repository into git:

```
git p4 clone //depot/Projects/A@all
git p4 clone //depot/Projects/C@all
```

Then create an empty Git repository:

```
mkdir project
cd project
git init
```

Add repositories path:

```
git remote add -f a ../A
git remote add -f c ../C
```

Merge Project A:

```
git merge --allow-unrelated-histories a/master
```

Move Project A into a subdir:

```
mkdir dir_a
find . -maxdepth 1 -not -name ".git" -and -not -name "dir_a" -exec git mv {} dir_a/ \;
```

Commit changes:

```
git commit -m "Merge Project A"
```

Merge Project C:

```
git merge --allow-unrelated-histories c/master
mkdir dir_c
find . -maxdepth 1 -not -name ".git" -and -not -name "dir_a" -and -not -name "dir_c" -exec git mv {} dir_c/ \;
git commit -m "Merge Project C"
```

Using Git:

```
$ git --version
git version 2.14.1
```
