As a maintainer and contributor to multiple, and often related, git repositories, I often find myself thinking that there must be a simpler way.<\/p>\n
Consider, for example, a variety of CakePHP plugins<\/a> that we develop and maintain at work<\/a>.\u00a0 Sure, each one provides a completely separate bit of functionality and has its purpose as a standalone project.\u00a0 But, at the same time, they all have enough overlap that we use a common cakephp-plugin-template repository<\/a> to keep things in sync, and also require cakephp-utils<\/a> plugin from all of them.<\/p>\n It’s only natural to consider other ways of doing things.\u00a0 Sure, I tried git submodules<\/a> before, but they don’t quite cut it.\u00a0 Something is still missing.<\/p>\n Today I came across the Go Monorepo website<\/a>.\u00a0 Which makes me wonder even further down this road.\u00a0 There are also a few other tools and alternatives mentioned in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s not something that I’ll jump into right now, but it’s definitely something I’ll consider to try out in the nearest future.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n As a maintainer and contributor to multiple, and often related, git repositories, I often find myself thinking that there must be a simpler way.
