Managing Multiple Repositories (Forks) in My One Project

Question

I have 4 forks in one project:

https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction-platform

https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction

https://github.com/reactioncommerce/example-storefront

https://github.com/reaction-contrib/meteor-payments-braintree

I want to pull from Owner repo his changes, and push to My repo his and my changes but problem is in clarity. I must do 4x "git pull" from 4 repositories and 4x "git push" to my 4 forks. Its not handy I think If I had 50 forks it can take long time to push them all to my forks. I want one project where I can push all by git push.

Is there some good solution? And if solution begin with "create new project on github..." my next question is for what is fork if I should create a new project with cloned repository?

I hope you understand and Thank you for any help with git:)

Answer 1

You could create one parent repository with those n repos as submodules.

• you can clone/pull all of them in one command (starting with Git 2.18, and mainly with Git 2.23):

  git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules
  # or, once cloned
  it submodule update --remote
  

• push your changes in one go (since Git 1.7 and 2.12):

  git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand
