Git
=====

Import a package including history
----------------------------------

The code of an existing repository can be imported with the following command:

.. code:: bash

  git subtree add --prefix=third_party/git https://github.com/git/git.git master

You can easily pull back changes from the upstream repository into that folder

.. code:: bash

  git subtree pull --squash --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master

You can also push changes back upstream as follows:

.. code:: bash

  git subtree push --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master

This means we can update our sources during development with the following commands:

.. code:: bash

  git subtree pull --squash --prefix=DistributionPackages/drk_template2016 git/master
