@alanpeabody yes, it's straightforward

[10:14]  
1) mix new my_umbrella --umbrella

[10:14]  
2) cd my_umbrella/apps

[10:15]  
3) mv ~/path/to/phoenix_app ./

[10:16]  
4) Update the paths in your phoenix project's mix.exs to match:

He described his problem more in #general which is that he wants to keep his existing git history. Though, that should really just involve inverting what you suggested

```
  def project do
    [app: :my_app,
     version: "0.0.1",
     build_path: "../../_build",
     config_path: "../../config/config.exs",
     deps_path: "../../deps",
     lockfile: "../../mix.lock",
     elixir: "~> 1.2",
     elixirc_paths: elixirc_paths(Mix.env),
     compilers: [:phoenix, :gettext] ++ Mix.compilers,
     build_embedded: Mix.env == :prod,
     start_permanent: Mix.env == :prod,
     aliases: aliases,
     deps: deps]
  end
```

5) shipit

[10:17]  
6) if using brunch/node, update package.json paths that reference phoenix

[10:18]  
@david.antaramian @alanpeabody ah yes, you should be able to do it similarly but within the existing repo

Thank you, it's really helpful...
