Git Subtree

Last modified: 05 September 2023

Git subtree allows you to include the contents of one Git repository into another repository as a subdirectory.

  • You can incorporate the contents and history of another repository into your repository while keeping it as a separate entity. This means that you can make changes to the external codebase, pull updates and push your changes back, all from within your main repository.

  • Git subtree lets you combine multiple repositories into a single repository, making it easier to manage dependencies, incorporate external codebases, or share code between projects. It helps you maintain a clean and organized repository structure while effectively managing code from multiple sources.
