git subtree

Merge subtrees together or split repository into subtrees. More information: https://manned.org/git-subtree.

• Add a Git repository as a subtree and squash the commits together:

git subtree add {{[-P|--prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} --squash {{repository_url}} {{branch_name}}

• Update subtree repository to its latest commit:

git subtree pull {{[-P|--prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} {{repository_url}} {{branch_name}}

• Merge recent changes up to the latest subtree commit into the subtree:

git subtree merge {{[-P|--prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} --squash {{repository_url}} {{branch_name}}

• Push commits to a subtree repository:

git subtree push {{[-P|--prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} {{repository_url}} {{branch_name}}

• Extract a new project history from the history of a subtree:

git subtree split {{[-P|--prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} {{repository_url}} {{[-b|--branch]}} {{branch_name}}
