AFAIK, git subtree is not part of standard git installations or in the base git code. It is a contribution. I would suggest contacting the contributor, apenwarr@gmail.com For assistance. At least in the CC. You might want to consider moving to submodules in a recent git for what you are attempting. --Randall ``` ## Ankit agarwal, 2025-01-04 04:49 Subject: Re: Help with Git Subtree Push Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CADQbHxHrF04wqdvsoA47FB29idV-amk%3Dsf8mLpQmmMHCHnuUcQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <059601db5e0c$5efbcb60$1cf36220$@nexbridge.com> ``` Hi All, Thanks for the recommendations.
