git subtree push --prefix=my/folder subtree_origin master

Where:

• --prefix=my/folder is the folder within your supertree that you want to push to the subtree
• master is the branch in the subtree,
• subtree_origin is just another remote, which happens to point to your subtree's git repository. You can also type the full repo URL.

git subtree pull --prefix=my/folder subtree_origin master

Where:

• pull is the inverse of push (consume from subtree rather than produce to subtree)
• --prefix=my/folder is the folder/directory you want to pull the subtree into
• subtree (remote)
• master (branch)

Workflow:

• all control is handled in the supertree
• use git remote add <subtree_origin> for cleaner git commands from supertree
• subtrees work independently and are consumed from/produced to from supertree
