    Hi there,

    I have to manage more and more EE sites and I would like to centralize all the addons I use. In past I was working with SVN, so I was able to create external references to a repository where I hold all my addons. What was great with SVN is that external references can point directly on directory, so I could do something like:

    /my_addon_repository/my_addon/system/expressionengine/third_party/ —> /mysite/system/expressionengine/my_addon
    /my_addon_repository/my_addon/themes/third_party/ —> /mysite/themes/third_party/my_addon

    But with GIT, you can only point to a repository, not to a directory in this repository.

    So, how can I manage my addons in a centralized manner? Any recommandation are welcome!

    Pv
