Big project layout : adding new feature on multiple sub-projects
- by Shiplu
I want to know how to manage a big project with many components with version control management system.
In my current project there are 4 major parts.
Web
Server
Admin console
Platform.
The web and server part uses 2 libraries that I wrote. In total there are 5 git repositories and 1 mercurial repository. The project build script is in Platform repository. It automates the whole building process.
The problem is when I add a new feature that affects multiple components I have to create branch for each of the affected repo. Implement the feature. Merge it back. My gut feeling is "something is wrong".
So should I create a single repo and put all the components there? I think branching will be easier in that case. Or I just do what I am doing right now. In that case how do I solve this problem of creating branch on each repository?
