$ git subtree merge --prefix=${path-to-directory-} --squash ${repository_url} ${branch_name}

This command merges a subtree from another Git repository into the current one. Here is a breakdown of the command:
git subtree merge
: This is a Git command used for merging subtrees.--prefix=${path-to-directory-}
: This option specifies the prefix under which the subtree should be merged. It is the path to the directory within the current Git repository where the subtree will be merged.--squash
: This option tells Git to squash the subtree commits into a single merge commit, simplifying the commit history by not preserving individual commits from the subtree.${repository_url}
: This is the URL of the Git repository from which you want to merge the subtree.${branch_name}
: This is the name of the branch within the repository that you want to merge.
By running this command, you will merge the specified subtree from the given repository and branch into the current Git repository under the specified directory prefix.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
