Question

I want to learn project design and structuring Git -repositories. There are tools such as Maven for Java projects here but cannot find anything for Git. Maven threads look poor-quality, except this one here — warning poor-quality threads: here, here, here, here — Y (more). So I surely want to use something else to it!

Helper questions

1. How projects should be designed?
2. Something like Maven for Non-Java -projects?
3. Do I need something like Maven really to design a project?
4. Does there exist tools to manage non-Java projects with Git?

Answer 1

Not yet but perhaps soon! You may be able to solve the problem by combining proper workflow tools with some social tools if you need to collaborate. Choose Workflow -tools if you are doing thing alone.

Workflow -tools

• Git’s submodules

• Gitslave minimizes the amount of repetitive commands, more here.

• Git-subtree may help you replace some submodules, more here.

Social -tools

• Gitolite. Now there are two different kinds of permissions: the basic *ix permissions and the Gitolite -permissions defined by the
  manager such as perms to commit and perms to clone a repo.

• Gerrit -code-review -project here that blurs the line between a
  manager and a dev, screenshots
  here.
  It looks to have some features similar to Bitbucket.org and Github.com
  such as verifying a commit — although Bitbucket uses “a thumb” for
  this, intrinsically the same.
