gitm is a minimalist monorepo for git using libgit2.
gitm only works on linux and other unix-like operating systems (for now).
git clone git@github.com:michae107/gitm.git
cd gitm
./install
To create a new monorepo simply run gitm init in the desired directory, this will create an empty .gitm file and initialise a new git repository for it. Add any repositories you want into the .gitm file using the same format as .gitmodules (refer to the .gitm in the tests directory for another example):
[submodule "TheAlgorithms/C"]
path = algorithms
url = https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C
Run gitm update to clone your new submodule (and any git submodules it has) and recursively initialise any .gitm files in those submodules.
After that commit your changes to the .gitm file:
git add .
git commit -m "init gitm repository"
You now have a git repository containing all the submodules listed in your .gitm file that you can publish where you publish other git repositories.
- deleting submodules with the command-line
- a way to view the status of subrepositories
- global way to manage configuration of submodules
- lfs integration
- other useful features that a simple monorepo might want
