git subtree: Manage project dependencies as subprojects.
Add a Git repository as a subtree:
git subtree add --prefix=path/to/directory/ --squash repository_url branch_name
Update subtree repository to its latest commit:
git subtree pull --prefix=path/to/directory/ repository_url branch_name
Merge recent changes up to the latest subtree commit into the subtree:
git subtree merge --prefix=path/to/directory/ --squash repository_url branch_name
Push commits to a subtree repository:
git subtree push --prefix=path/to/directory/ repository_url branch_name
Extract a new project history from the history of a subtree:
git subtree split --prefix=path/to/directory/ repository_url -b branch_name
