Inrepo – Pull upstream repos into your app without forks or submodules
by burnedchris·May 11, 2026·2 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●MidShip It
Git submodules are painful, but this adds complexity without solving the root cause.
Strengths
- •Declarative config with lockfiles ensures reproducible upstream code versions.
- •Overlay patch system allows customizations without maintaining a full fork.
- •Strips .git directories after sync to treat vendored code as plain source trees.
Weaknesses
- •Reinvents solutions already provided by git submodules, subtrees, or package managers.
- •Managing merge conflicts in overlay patches will become a maintenance nightmare.
