Im super new with using GitHub.. I cloned in a repo at html/mycms (repo is mycms) and now I have another repo I would like to maintain within.. I cloned it in at html/mycms/system/docs (repo is called docs).
BUT, not when I pull, I only get updates to html/mycms and the docs one is ignored? I assume this is because the folder html/mycms has already been set to the mycms repo? I don’t know how to fix this issue though..
How can I pull the docs repo while it’s within my mycms repo? And can I pull both at the same time somehow?
Thanks!
You have to use git submodules for what you want. The docs repo will have to be hosted separately (on Github) and you add it as a submodule to your main repo. That way, when you clone it as
git clone --recursive git@github.com:user/mainrepo, you will get the submodule docs repo in as well.Look here to know about submodules: http://progit.org/book/ch6-6.html
