Maintain git repo inside another git repo

Here's what I'd like:

REPO-A
  /.git
  /otherFiles
  /REPO-B
    /.git
    /moreFiles

I want to be able to push all of REPO-A's contents to REMOTE-A and only REPO-B to REMOTE-B.

Possible?

Solution

  • It sounds like you want to use Git submodules.

    Git addresses this issue using submodules. Submodules allow you to keep a Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository. This lets you clone another repository into your project and keep your commits separate.
