About:
GitVendor is a command-line tool designed to simplify the management of third-party code dependencies within a Git repository. It allows developers to add, update, and remove external projects, tracking them as subdirectories while maintaining a clean commit history. This streamlines the process of bundling external libraries without the complexity of managing Git submodules.
Key Features:
  • Manages dependencies as clean subdirectories
  • Simplifies adding, updating, and removing external code
  • Maintains a clear history of dependency changes
  • Provides a cleaner alternative to Git submodules
Use Cases:
  • Bundling third-party libraries directly into a repository
  • Managing internal shared code across multiple projects
  • Keeping external code dependencies up-to-date easily
Alternatives:
  • git-submodule – GitVendor provides a simpler workflow and cleaner history compared to the complex nature of submodules.
  • git-subtree – Offers a more streamlined and dedicated CLI specifically designed for dependency management tasks.
