+===== Helper Script =====
+As I have been using the commands listed here quite often, I decided to put together a helper script for managing these subtrees.  Take the script below, modify it to match your repository configuration, and include it in your repository alongside the subtree.  Then you can call it with no arguments or with a single argument of 'pull' to pull from the remote subtree repository, or add 'push' to push to the remote subtree repository.  As is, the script performs the exact commands listed in the above section, aside from the splitting off of the subdirectory in the process of creating a separate repository.
+<code sh>
+#!/bin/bash
+# Git subtree manager
+# Alex Forencich <alex@alexforencich.com>
+# This script facilitates easy management of subtrees
+# included in larger repositories as this script can
+# be included in the repository itself.
+# Note:
+# Requires git-subtree
+# https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree
+# Settings
+# uncomment to use --squash
+#squash="yes"
+# Remote repository
+repo="git@github.com:alexforencich/zigbee-terminal.git"
+# Remote name
+remote="zbt"
+# Subdirectory to store code in
+subdir="zigbee-terminal"

+backportbranch="${remote}backport"
+# Add commit message
+addmsg="added ${subdir} as a subproject"
+# Merge commit message
+mergemsg="merged changes in ${subdir}"
+# Usage
+# add - adds subtree
+# pull - default, pulls from remote
+# push - pushes to remote
