Title Body

With Git, I'd like to include some common JS/CSS library and/or utility methods (i.e. specific files from another repo) in my project, and I'd like it so they're always up-to-date. I don't really want the entire remote repository(s). Bonus if I can work on my "local copies" of the remote files and push the changes back up. A somewhat parallel example: in ASP.NET, I would do this by referencing the ("remote") other libraries' .dll files (without "copy local"), so that whenever I recompile the external libraries my project would already point to the newest versions. Example Scenario My project is... MyProject , and I just want a couple files from external repositories ExternalLibrary and External2 . I'd prefer not to clone each repository somewhere else and copy-paste the files into my repo. If I make an improvement to MyProject/scripts/common1.js , I'd like to push that back to ExternalLibrary . MyProject/ index.html scripts/ mycode.js otherplugin.js common1.js <-- from ExternalLibrary plugin2.js <-- from ExternalLibrary styles/ mystyle.css common.css <-- from External2 ExternalLibrary/ common1.js plugin1.js plugin2.js bunchofothercrap... External2/ common.css bunchofothercrap... Related references: Git: how to work with multiple repositories? How to checkout only one file
