# git subtree sync
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`rustc_codegen_gcc` is a subtree of the rust compiler. As such, it needs to be
 | 
						|
sync from time to time to ensure changes that happened on their side are also
 | 
						|
included on our side.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### How to install a forked git-subtree
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Using git-subtree with `rustc` requires a patched git to make it work.
 | 
						|
The PR that is needed is [here](https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/493).
 | 
						|
Use the following instructions to install it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
git clone git@github.com:tqc/git.git
 | 
						|
cd git
 | 
						|
git checkout tqc/subtree
 | 
						|
make
 | 
						|
make install
 | 
						|
cd contrib/subtree
 | 
						|
make
 | 
						|
cp git-subtree ~/bin
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Syncing with rust compiler
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do a sync with this command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ~/bin/git-subtree push -P compiler/rustc_codegen_gcc/ ../rustc_codegen_gcc/ sync_branch_name
 | 
						|
cd ../rustc_codegen_gcc
 | 
						|
git checkout master
 | 
						|
git pull
 | 
						|
git checkout sync_branch_name
 | 
						|
git merge master
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To send the changes to the rust repo:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
cd ../rust
 | 
						|
git pull origin master
 | 
						|
git checkout -b subtree-update_cg_gcc_YYYY-MM-DD
 | 
						|
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ~/bin/git-subtree pull --prefix=compiler/rustc_codegen_gcc/ https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc.git master
 | 
						|
git push
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Immediately merge the merge commit into cg_gcc to prevent merge conflicts when syncing from rust-lang/rust later.
 | 
						|
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ~/bin/git-subtree push -P compiler/rustc_codegen_gcc/ ../rustc_codegen_gcc/ sync_branch_name
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
TODO: write a script that does the above.
