Git X-Modules is a new product by TMate Software. We call it "Submodules – done right".
Have you ever been struggling with code spread between several repositories?
If yes, then you probably know, how troublesome the native Git Submodules could be. There a few alternatives, but none of them removes the burden from the end user completely or is a fully supported commercial product.
We used our repository mirror technology, perfected by SubGit and SVN Mirror, to create a new solution for this case - totally server-side.
- Add modules, selecting a branch, and a path to include.
- No need to run any special commands or follow a specific sequence of actions.
- Users make no difference between external (module) files and their "parent" repository.
- One `git push` and `git pull` is good for all.
- Any Git client is supported out of the box.
- All updates to the external (module) repositories are fetched automatically.
- Various ways to insert commits from external modules into the "parent" history.
- Your favorite TMate Support!
Git X-Modules exists as a cloud app for GitHub (free in beta) and a self-hosted app for Atlassian Bitbucket Server / Data Center.
Dedicated plugins for GitLab and other Git servers are coming soon!
