git subtree

Tool to manage project dependencies as subprojects.

More information.

Add a Git repository as a subtree:

git subtree add --prefix={path/to/directory/} --squash {repository_url} {branch_name}

Update subtree repository to its latest commit:

git subtree pull --prefix={path/to/directory/} {repository_url} {branch_name}

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

git subtree merge --prefix={path/to/directory/} --squash {repository_url} {branch_name}

Push commits to a subtree repository:

git subtree push --prefix={path/to/directory/} {repository_url} {branch_name}

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

git subtree split --prefix={path/to/directory/} {repository_url} -b {branch_name}
