How to track and commit multiple repos

Question

I gave a project that's split in "server" and "client" repos. Most times I make a change involving both repos, but to commit and push them, I need to open multiple tabs on sourcetree, stage all, commit, message etc...

Is there a way of tracking all repos in a folder and push the relevant changes to the relevant repo with the same commit message?

I've tried submodules, and I do see them in sourcetree (pic attached)

but their commit/push must be made one by one...

I am too new to stackOverflow so I can't leave comment but post answer instead. I think your question is relevant to this post: Two git repositories in one directory?

thanks, but I have multiple repos in different folders. I updated the question with an image about submodules. – trueicecold Nov 11 '22 at 09:19

Since these are two different repositories, there is no way to do a single commit for both of them.

I would suggest you to have a monorepo structure for your application.

thing is I would like to split repos for different developers (compartmentalize) so a monorepo will let all getting all access... – trueicecold Nov 11 '22 at 10:09
Then you would have to live with having different commits/pushes for both the repos. – Abhishek S Nov 11 '22 at 10:10
