Multi-Repo Git Strategy for greatVibe
Architecture options for managing 3 repos (agent, .local, .ai) under /konnectvol/gv
Output
🗂️ Multi-Repo Git Strategy
Three main approaches for managing multiple repos under /konnectvol/gv:
Option 1: Git Submodules RECOMMENDED
/konnectvol/gv/ # Parent repo (greatvibe-platform) ├── .gitmodules # Submodule config ├── LICENSE # Apache 2.0 (for shared docs) ├── agent/ # → github.com/greatvibe/agent (submodule) │ ├── LICENSE # Apache 2.0 │ └── cmd/, pkg/, ... # Go code ├── local/ # → github.com/greatvibe/local (submodule) │ ├── LICENSE # Apache 2.0 │ └── src/, ... # Deno/TS code ├── cloud/ # → github.com/greatvibe/cloud (PRIVATE submodule) │ └── ... # SaaS platform (proprietary) └── docs/ # Shared docs (in parent) └── gvCodingStandards.md
Pros: Each repo independently cloneable, clear ownership, standard Git workflow
Cons: Submodule commands can be confusing (git submodule update --init)
Option 2: Separate Repos (No Parent)
/konnectvol/gv/ # Just a directory (NOT a repo) ├── agent/ # github.com/greatvibe/agent │ └── .git/ # Independent repo ├── local/ # github.com/greatvibe/local │ └── .git/ # Independent repo └── cloud/ # github.com/greatvibe/cloud (PRIVATE) └── .git/ # Independent repo
Pros: Simplest mental model, no submodule complexity
Cons: No unified clone, shared docs live in one repo or duplicated
Option 3: Monorepo with Paths
/konnectvol/gv/ # Single repo ├── .git/ ├── agent/ # Go code (Apache 2.0 LICENSE here) ├── local/ # Deno code (Apache 2.0 LICENSE here) ├── cloud/ # ⚠️ Problem: can't make private └── docs/
⚠️ Problem: Can't have mixed public/private visibility in one repo
Only works if everything is same visibility (all public or all private)
✅ Recommendation: Submodules
Given your requirements (public agent/local, private cloud), Option 1 (Submodules) is best:
- Create GitHub org:
github.com/greatvibe - Create 3 repos:
agent(public),local(public),cloud(private) - Create parent repo:
greatvibe-platform(private) with submodules - Clone with:
git clone --recurse-submodules
📋 Setup Commands
# In /konnectvol/gv (after creating GitHub repos) git init git submodule add git@github.com:greatvibe/agent.git agent git submodule add git@github.com:greatvibe/local.git local git submodule add git@github.com:greatvibe/cloud.git cloud git commit -m "Add submodules" # To clone elsewhere git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:greatvibe/platform.git # Work in a submodule cd agent git checkout main # make changes... git add . && git commit && git push cd .. git add agent # Update submodule pointer git commit -m "Update agent submodule"
