Plan: Convert Submodule to Git Subtree for graphics-components-src

1. Remove the submodule (if present)

• Remove the submodule and its config:

  git submodule deinit -f graphics-components-src
  git rm -f graphics-components-src
  rm -rf .gitmodules
  

2. Add the upstream repo as a remote (if not already)

• Add the original repo as a remote:

  git remote add upstreamRepo https://github.com/reuters-graphics/graphics-components.git
  git fetch upstreamRepo
  

3. Add the code as a subtree

• Import the code into your repo:

  git subtree add --prefix=graphics-components-src upstreamRepo main --squash
  

  • Replace main with the correct branch name if needed.

4. Make your own changes

• Edit files in graphics-components-src as needed.
• Commit your changes as normal.

5. Pull in upstream changes later

• When you want to update from upstream:

  git fetch upstreamRepo
  git subtree pull --prefix=graphics-components-src upstreamRepo main --squash
  

  • Resolve any conflicts and commit.

6. Push your repo as normal

• All code (including the subtree) is in your repo.
• Push as usual:

  git push
  

---

Summary:

• Use git subtree add to import the code.
• Use git subtree pull to update from upstream.
• Make and commit your own changes as usual.
