@Samuel Lijin
I tried now and I get:
"merge: branch_name
- not something we can merge".
Maybe that is something easy to fix but currently I am using a
workaround script so I am not putting any more effort at this at the
moment.
@David Aguilar
That's true but the trailing slash is already there. This commands
looks promising. An update would be GREAT!
FYI that's the script I am using to address this problem:
#!/bin/bash
function initial {
if git remote | grep -q lisa_remote
then
echo "Subtree delete & update"
git checkout lisa_branch
git pull
git checkout master
git merge --squash -s subtree --no-commit lisa_branch
git merge --squash --allow-unrelated-histories -s subtree
--no-commit lisa_branch
else
echo "Add subtree"
git remote add lisa_remote git@:lisa/lisa.git
git fetch lisa_remote
git checkout -b lisa_branch lisa_remote/master
git checkout master
git read-tree --prefix=lisaSubTree/ -u lisa_branch
gitrm
git rm --cached -r lisaSubTree/.gitignore
git rm --cached -r lisaSubTree/*
fi
}
initial
