Hi All,

We are currently facing an issue with the use of git subtree in our project. Below is the structure of our main repository:

Show 7 quoted lines

> *Main Repository *
> -src
>   ├── java
>   ├── test
> -commons (git subtree linked to external repository: git@github.com:
> MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git)
> -README.MD

When attempting to perform a *git subtree push* from the main repository using the following command:

> git subtree push --prefix=commons git@github.com:MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git
> feature-branch

It fails to create the *feature-branch* in the external repository: git@github.com:MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git.

To debug, we executed the command with --debug enabled:

git subtree push --prefix=commons git@github.com:MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git

> feature-branch --debug

Here are the relevant logs:

command: {push}

> quiet: {}
> dir: {commons}
> opts: {git@github.com:MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git
> feature-branch}

git push using:  git@github.com:MSILDigital/MSIL-EDS-Transformation.git

The complete debug output is attached for your reference. Interestingly, this command works as expected for some team members.

Could you please guide us on what might be causing this behavior and how we can resolve it to successfully execute the git subtree push?

Looking forward to your insights.
