Is it possible to import one git repository into another with history preserved, ideally tags?

Question

git

Hello everyone,

there is a repository, let's say project1 whose tree is something like this:

.
├── .git
└── folder1
└── folder2

I want to import the following project into it from github ( https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo ) , let's say in the defectdojo

folder so that in my .git turned out to be all the commits and ideally, the tags that are present in the repository on Github. For example superimposed on top of my history. Is this possible ... or nonsense))

All the best,
Vadim

git remote remove remote-repo
