Git X-Modules is a server-side app that syncs your project directories with other repositories. Think of it as a server-side alternative to Git Submodules. Use Cases - Combine multiple projects and components into a single repository for cross-project development - Include parts of other projects into yours - Share common assets across multiple projects Git X-Modules is totally transparent to Git users. - An X-Module is a regular directory. It’s synced on your Git server with an external repository. - When an X-Module is updated the changes go to the external repository. - When an external repository is updated the changes are applied to the X-Module. - When there are two conflicting updates Git X-Modules applies one update and turns the other into a pull request It's simple, yet versatile - Sync an X-Module with any branch in the external repository. Change the settings at any time. - Pull the whole tree from an external repository or specify its subdirectory with powerful exclude filters. - Keep the history clean and tidy by squashing and rebasing module commits or preserve the module history in a parent repository with a merge option.
