Add and update a git subtree
Raw
add_and_update_git_subtree.md

Add a new git subtree

The common practice is to not store the entire history of the subproject in your main repository, but If you want to preserve it just omit the –squash flag

git subtree add --prefix .emacs.d/rtags https://github.com/abelardojarab/rtags master --squash

Update a git subtree

git subtree pull --prefix=.emacs.d/rtags  --squash https://github.com/abelardojarab/rtags.git master
