git-subtree: Push commits to a subtree repository.
$ git subtree push --prefix=${path-to-directory-} ${repository_url} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command git subtree push is used to push changes from a subdirectory of your Git repository to a separate repository as a subtree merge.

Here is an explanation of each argument in the command:

  • --prefix=${path-to-directory-}: This specifies the prefix or the subdirectory within your current Git repository that you want to push to the separate repository.
  • ${repository_url}: This is the URL of the separate repository you want to push the changes to.
  • ${branch_name}: This is the branch name you want to push the changes to in the separate repository.

In summary, the git subtree push command is used to push the changes in a specific subdirectory of your Git repository to a separate repository on a specified branch.

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.
