git-subtree: Update subtree repository to its latest commit.
$ git subtree pull --prefix=${path-to-directory-} ${repository_url} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to pull updates from a remote repository and merge them into a subtree of your current Git repository. Here's an explanation of each part:

  • git subtree pull: This is the Git command used for pulling updates from a remote repository into a subtree.
  • --prefix=${path-to-directory-}: Specifies the prefix or path to the directory within your current repository where the subtree is located. Replace ${path-to-directory-} with the actual path to the directory.
  • ${repository_url}: The URL of the remote repository you want to pull updates from.
  • ${branch_name}: The name of the branch in the remote repository that you want to pull updates from.

By executing this command, Git will fetch the latest updates from the remote repository specified by ${repository_url} and the branch ${branch_name}. It will then merge these updates into the subtree located at ${path-to-directory-} within your current repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
