subtree-root

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository.

Contributing to subtree

1. Create a new branch on this (subtree-root) repository for any changes.
2. You will need to push changes twice or more (Once to subtree-root and another to subtree-child and other subtrees)
   1. Commit and Push All Changes to subtree-root First.
   2. Push any subtree specific changes a new branch on a subtree (subtree-child) repository.
      • git subtree --prefix=<folder_name> push <repository> <branch_name>
      • git subtree --prefix=subtree_child push https://github.com/ppak10/subtree-child.git enhancement/instructions
        • This will push any changes under the subtree_root/subtree_child to the newly created enhancement/instructions branch in the subtree_child repository.

Merging Changes

1. Aim to keep the branches between different repsitories in the same state.
   • (i.e. subtree-root/subtree-child == subtree-child for main branch.)
2. Merge changes in subtree child first, then merge changes in subtree root.
   • This should mitigate issues and merge conflicts between multiple developers.
   • Changes in subtree-root/subtree-child branch should be equal to subtree-child repo's main branch

Possible Issues

• Making changes directly to main branch in subtree-child repo would require a merge.
