Secondary --exec-path?

Joel C. Salomon· Jul 23, 2010, 12:56 UTC · lore

I just downloaded git-subtree, and the installation instructions have me copying the executable file to `git --exec-path`, i.e., to /usr/lib/git-core.

I'm looking through the documentation for a possible second location for these scripts, perhaps somewhere in /usr/local, or in /home/me -- is there such a path? I'd rather not step on my distro's toes if I can help it.

Put the git-substree script into any path you want (such as $HOME/bin) and then add that to your $PATH. Or simply drop it to /usr/bin.
