################################################################################
## Script to merge multiple git repositories into a new repository
## - The new repository will contain a folder for every merged repository
## - The script adds remotes for every project and then merges in every branch
##   and tag. These are renamed to have the origin project name as a prefix
##
## Usage: mergeGitRepositories.sh <new_project> <my_repo_urls.lst>
## - where <new_project> is the name of the new project to create
## - and <my_repo_urls.lst> is a file contaning the URLs to the respositories
##   which are to be merged on separate lines.

Fantastic, thank you so much!

I am using Lerna https://github.com/lerna/lerna/

so I needed a slightly different structure, which I uploaded here: https://gist.github.com/dzoba/eef25554227a9c2601be317be61cd21e
