github - Maintaining Git repo inside another git repo -

i have git repo contains in angularjs web app.

it has subfolder called build gets created gulp task. deploying azure connected directly bitbucket directory.

i want make build folder separate git repo azure app being deployed. how achieve in git ??

you have several options like:

• submodule
• subtree

---

submodules allow foreign repositories embedded within dedicated subdirectory of source tree, pointed @ particular commit.

---

git submodule

break big project sub projects did far.
add each sub project main project using :

git submodule add <url> 

once projected added tot repo have init , update it.

git submodule init git submodule update 

as of git 1.8.2 new option --remote added

git submodule update --remote --merge 

will fetch latest changes upstream in each submodule, merge them in, , check out latest revision of submodule.

as the docs describe it:

--remote

this option valid update command. instead of using superproject’s recorded sha-1 update submodule, use status of submodule’s remote-tracking branch.

this equivalent running git pull in each submodule.

---

however, how push commit in scenario of bug fix in c affects code shared parent layers?

again: using submodule place code inside main project part of content. difference between having locally inside folder or having part of submodule in submodule content managed (commited) different standalone repository.

---

this illustration of submodule - project inside project in each project standalone project.

---

git subtree

git subtree allows insert repository sub-directory of one

very similar submodule main difference code managed. in submodules content placed inside separate repo , managed there allow clone many other repos well.

subtree managing content part of root project , not in separate project.

instead of writing down how set , understand how use can read excellent post explain all.
