I have a requirement to move few files from one repo to another repo with files commit history. Both repos are completely different structure.

Repo 2 is belongs to another team.

Repo 1 - /folder1/subfolder1/text.txt

TO

Repo 2 - folder1/test.txt

Do we have a way to do this ?.

You can adapt the answer in How to move files from one git repo to another (not a clone), preserving history with e.g.

git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter sourcedir/subdir \
        --index-filter '
                git read-tree --empty
                git ls-tree -r $GIT_COMMIT:sourcedir/subdir \
                | sed s,\\t,\\tdestdir/, \
                | git update-index --index-info
        '

and add whatever other selection/munging instructions you want to the sed, like put "/.txt$/!d;" on the front of it so you drop everything but the .txt files, or whatever else you want to do to the path names.
