Hi,

I tried to find a way to push a sub-tree. In section 6.7 of "Pro Git", there's a way for pulling a git sub-tree. But I have not found the opposite: push a git sub-tree. Can someone help me?

BTW, I appologize for not reading archives of this list.

I've not read the book, but perhaps you mean submodules?

If so, refer to the part in the git submodule tutorial that describes how to make changes within a submodule on the GitWiki at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSubmoduleTutorial.

Re: how can I push a sub-tree

Hi,

Not sub-module, but sub-tree.

My problems are: $ git remote add rack_remote git@github.com:schacon/rack.git $ git fetch rack_remote $ git branch rack_branch rack_remote/master $ git read-tree --prefix=rack/ -u rack_branch

Now in master branch, I have a sub-tree rack. Later I modified something in rack sub-tree. Then, how could I push my changes to rack_remote?

Thanks Zhi

Re: how can I push a sub-tree

Hi,

I found a way to do it, but I do not know whether it is the simplest.

In master branch, run "git cat-file -p" several times to find rack sub-tree sha. Then check-out branch "rack_branch", run "git read-tree sha". The sha is that one just get by "git cat-file -p". Finally, git-commit, git-push...

Cheers, Zhi
