git-simple-subsplit

A git subtree/subsplit script for quickly creating one-way subsplit of repositories. (use for composer packages)

Can sync branches and tags.

##Usage

General usage:

git-simple-subsplit.sh subpath git@remotehost:repo.git [--tags "tag1 tag2 ..."] [--branches "branch1 branch2 ..."]

sync all tags and branches (always uses origin remote for checking branches and tags):

cd repo
git fetch origin
git-simple-subsplit.sh subpath git@github.com:user/subrepo.git

sync only master and other branch and all tags:

cd repo
git fetch origin
git-simple-subsplit.sh subpath git@github.com:user/subrepo.git --branches "master other"

##Workflow for creating and syncing sub-repos

Create

git clone https://github.com/user/masterrepo masterrepo
cd masterrepo
git-simple-subsplit.sh path1 git@github.com:user/subrepo1.git
git-simple-subsplit.sh path2 git@github.com:user/subrepo2.git
...

Update

Same as "Create" but it will use existing repo and cached data so only add new commits which is much faster.

cd masterrepo
git fetch origin
git-simple-subsplit.sh path1 git@github.com:user/subrepo1.git
git-simple-subsplit.sh path2 git@github.com:user/subrepo2.git
...
