Add git subtree support 🌳

204 votes

Git subtree lets you nest one repository inside another as a sub-directory. It is one of several ways Git projects can manage project dependencies and is an alternative to submodules.

It would be awesome to have subtree support in GitKraken https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/about-git-subtree-merges

This would be a very useful addition.
Submodules are OK but it replaces the .git folder with a file that references the submodule location within the parent. This complicates deployment on docker, (and CI / CD scenarios) where the system expect .git to be a folder and not a reference to a parent folder the docker container has no access to.

Sourcetree has it. A much-needed feature in my opinion.

I just bought GitKraken, tired of SourceTree's problems. Everything is outstanding out of the box, but the missing support of subtrees is a huge problem for me.
I have to revert back to SourceTree for those repos I'm working on that contains subtrees. Add Subtrees support asap, it's not even on the roadmap.

Same here, Gitkraken is a really powerful tool, but working in a monorepo with subtrees is not even supported. So i have to get back to command lines (since SourceTree is a no-go for me). Please add support for Git Subtree!

Pretty much a deal breaker for me for using this product as it's a feature I rely on. I guess it's reluctantly back to ugly old SourceTree.
