git-subtree

This is a GitHub Action to make use of git subtree commands. It works around GitHub Action magic to enable adding and pulling subtrees from other repositories.

How to use it

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT).
Add your PAT to your repos actions secrets.
- Find it at Your Repo > Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions OR modify this URL accordingly and open it: https://github.com/{user-or-org}/{repo}/settings/secrets/actions
- This doc uses PAT as a name
