+# git-subtree
+
+git-subtree allows subprojects to be included within a sub-directory of a main project, optionally including the sub-project's entire history.
+
+## Installation
+
+Choose **one** of the following ways to install git-subtree:
+
+1. Copy the file `git-subtree.sh` to where all other git scripts are stored.
+1. Run `install.sh` in a Git-enabled shell (that's "Git Bash" on Windows).
+1. Run `make install` in a Cygwin-enabled shell.
+
+Any *one* of these actions makes the `git subtree` command available (note: space instead of dash).
+
+To additionally install the man page:
+
+    make doc
+    cp git-subtree.1 /usr/share/man/man1/
+
+
