I needed a cheatsheet for some common commands I use day-to-day with git subtree. I don't intend this to be a full overview of how to use subtree, more just a reference for myself and anyone else interested.

Initial setup

Add the project as a remote

git remote add myproject-upstream [email protected]:myuser/myproject.git

Fetch the remote

git fetch myproject-upstream

Add the project

git subtree add --prefix=path/to/project myproject-upstream/master --squash

Daily work

Push to the remote project repository

git subtree push --prefix=path/to/project myproject-upstream master

Pull remote changes

git subtree pull --prefix=path/to/project myproject-upstream master --squash
