A Rails project from multiple Git repositories

Question

Is it possible to have a Rails application from multiple Git repositories? At the moment I have a main application with all my code and I manually copy paste code into it from other repositories. The other repositories are right now: A repository for my fork of Twitter Bootstrap and a repository for CSS/HTML/Javascript (frontend) code. The frontend repository is used to create a lot of tests, mainly for mobile safari. It has no database support and is only there to create and manage the frontend for my application.

I would like a setup like so:

• Repository for my Bootstrap fork (added styles, scss and coffeescript)
• Repository for my views (html, custom css/javascript, tests for various browsers and platforms, no active record support and hardly any models)
• Repository for my everything else

I wish to keep these seperated repositories. Or have one with all my code but keep the seperate repositories as well.

You'd better use git submodules, much cleaner and far less complicated.
