Can I retain commit history moving to one project to another project?

Question

We are moving our code from one project to another project. But we want to retain the commit history. Please let me know if there is any way I can do this?

If you mean that you're starting a new repo with a completely new history, then the answer is, not easily. But, if your current code can be viewed of as a dependency, then why not leave it as that, and bring it into your new project as a dependency? — Tim Biegeleisen, Mar 07 '19 at 13:39
Actually, It is just that we are moving our repo in diffrent GIT structure. I don't think that can be possible without creating new repo. — Ritesh Singh Rajput, Mar 07 '19 at 13:45
