Why is the `git subtree` not working even though I have git 1.8.3.2 installed on Ubuntu 12.10?
git, git-subtree, ubuntu
Solution
It doesn't seem to be installed by the default package. This site has some directions: http://engineeredweb.com/blog/how-to-install-git-subtree
Problem
I am about to deploy my AngularJS based static site as a Github Page with Yeoman. Step 3 of the deployment instructions tell me to do `git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages` but when I enter that I get `git: 'subtree' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.` This SO answer provided me instructions on how to upgrade to the latest git-core and ensure it always get upgraded to the latest stable release. ``` sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git ``` After running those commands I did `git --version` to make sure I had the latest version and apparently I did since `git version 1.8.3.2` was the output. Now when I tried running `git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages` again I still got the same following error `git: 'subtree' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.` Finally I just restarted Ubuntu 12.10 and tried to run the command again but once again, I got the same error. How come the `git subtree` command is still not working even though I have upgraded to the current stable release?
