git - is git submodules what I need?

Question

I have two repositories for two websites, but those two websites share the same framework.

I wanted to make a dedicated repository for the framework itself but I'm not sure how would that work.

What I currently do is that I develop the framework within website1 and then copy it to website2 each time I add new features. As you can see it's not very effective...

I would like a separate repository for the framework, but I still need it to be within one of the two websites so I can keep working on it. The most important part is that I need to be able to deploy it to the other website in a simple way

What is the best solution for me? How can this be achieved?

PS: I'm using SourceTree with Bitbucket quit intensively for the past months so I'm fairly familiar with git, but I have never used the command line.

Answer 1

只要您的框架仅限于您网站的子目录，那么可以，您可以将您的框架视为您的网站存储库的子模块，它充当“父”存储库。

SourceTree 支持子模块（从 1.3 开始），如果您的框架在其自己的存储库中进行管理，您可以将其添加到您的网站存储库中。
请参阅“使用子模块和子存储库”

Answer 2

由于您没有提到您正在使用什么语言和框架，在一般用例中，建议为您的框架创建一个 git 存储库并将其用作两个项目的子模块。

节省“复制粘贴”的时间，并使您的框架的提交远离特定于站点的提交，因此您的提交日志将更清晰，并且可以允许其他人为您的框架做出贡献，并可能允许开源您的框架的能力。
