README.md

This action synchronizes a subtree split-repository with it's parent.

It's primary use is to create a split branch and push it to the parent, then tag it.

The action requires the following inputs:

Key	Description
subtree	Subtree repository name (including owner)
subtree_deploy_key	A public key part of a Deploy Key on the subtree repository
split_prefix	The directory to perform the split on

As described above you will need to create a Deploy Key, place the the private part in the Deploy Key settings of the subtree repository; and the public part in the Secrets settings of the parent repository.
