How to convert a list of git repository into single repository?

Question

I have multiple git repository. How can I convert this as a Single repository. Is there any possible to do this?

Repositories:

module_1.git
module_2.git
module_3.git
module_4.git
module_5.git

I want the above list of repository into a single repository as Modules.git. All of the above converted into directories of Modules repository.

How can I achieve this?

it depends on what you want to do with the history of each repository — Chris Maes, Sep 24 '19 at 14:22

As far as I know there is no way to "convert" it. You basically just have to create new repository that will contain all needed content.

Create new empty local Git repository.
Move all needed files there and commit them.
Push local repository into GitLab.

More details here: GitLab - Push to create new project
