Steps to combine multiple git repos into one

0. Make sure all repos you are moving are checked in and backed up
1. cd projects/project1
2. mkdir proj
3. git mv * proj/ #will error when copying project1 directory to itself
4. git commit -m "about to migrate to new repo"

repeat 1 - 4 for other repos you want to combine

6. mkdir new_meta_repo
7. cd new_meta_repo
