 # Branches
 
-To make a new branch, make sure you're up to date, then:
+A branch is a full copy of the project to test additional ideas.
+You can make a new branch called 'featurez' like this:
 
-> git checkout -b [branchname]
+> git branch featurez
 
-Check otu all branches with
+Have a look at all your branches:
 
-> git branch -a 
+> git branch
 
-Add the new branch to a git:
+Switch to your new branch:
 
-> git push origin [branchname]
+> git checkout featurez
 
+And if your changes are rubbish, checkout the "master" branch again, then delete "featurez":
+
+> git branch -D featurez
+
+Or if it's a good branch, push it to the remote:
+
+> git push origin featurez
+
+## Merging
+
+Once you like the feature, merge it into the main branch.  Switch to master then merge it:
+
+> git merge featurez
+
+# Subtree
+
+The project has subdirectories sub-1,sub-2,sub-3.  The first should be its own repository, but should also retain its own history.
+
+First, we extract its history as an independent item, and make that into a seprate branch.

+If you want something a few directories deep, you can use `--prefix=sub-1/dir-2/dir-3
+
+Then go and create a new git somewhere else:

+> cd ..;mkdir sub-1;cd sub-1;git init --bare
+
+Then go back to your initial git repo, and do the following:

+
+Finally, you can clone this repo from your original.
