+## Subtree
+
+----------
+
+## Subtree
+
+* Used when there are nested repositories.
+* Not recommended when the amount of dependencies is too large
+* For these cases we need a dependency control system
+* Command are painfully long so aliases are necessary
+
+----------
+
+## Subtree Aliases
+
+* Add: git subtree add --prefix <target-folder> <url> <branch> --squash
+* Pull: git subtree add --prefix <target-folder> <url> <branch> --squash
+* Push: git subtree add --prefix <target-folder> <url> <branch>
+* Ex: git config alias.sbp 'subtree pull --prefix st /
+  git@gitlab.com:balameb/subtree-nested-example.git master --squash'
+
+----------
+
+```
+  # Add an alias
+  # Add
+  git config alias.sba 'subtree add --prefix st /
+  git@gitlab.com:balameb/subtree-nested-example.git master --squash'
+  # Pull
+  git config alias.sbpl 'subtree pull --prefix st /
+  git@gitlab.com:balameb/subtree-nested-example.git master --squash'
+  # Push
+  git config alias.sbph 'subtree push --prefix st /
+  git@gitlab.com:balameb/subtree-nested-example.git master'
+
+  # Adding this subtree adds a st dir with a readme
+  git sba
+  vi st/README.md
+  # Edit file
+  git status shows differences
+
+```
+
+----------
+
+```
+  # Adding, or committing won't change the sub repo at remote
+  # even if we push
+  git add -A
+  git commit -m "Adding to subtree readme"
+
+  # Push to subtree repo
+  git sbph
+  # now we can check our remote sub repo
+```
