git-subtree

This repo holds the merged extensions from:

• https://github.com/helmo/git/tree/subtree-updates-merged
• https://github.com/helmo/git/commit/a59ddc5d1e7ab2442a9a25538ad11613921bcfe2

git-subtree allows subprojects to be included within a sub-directory of a main project, optionally including the sub-project's entire history.

Installation

Choose one of the following ways to install git-subtree:

1. Open contrib/subtree
2. Copy the file git-subtree.sh to where all other git scripts are stored (git --exec-path will tell you this).
3. Run install.sh in a Git-enabled shell (that's "Git Bash" on Windows).
4. Run make install in a Cygwin-enabled shell.

Any one of these actions makes the git subtree command available (note: space instead of dash).

To additionally install the man page:

make doc
cp git-subtree.1 /usr/share/man/man1/
