Git-vendor, manage dependencies with git-subtree

Git command for managing git vendored dependencies - brettlangdon/git-vendor

Git-vendor, manage dependencies with git-subtree launched on January 29, 2016 with 20 votes, #1,988 of 4,522 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Git-vendor is a command-line tool that simplifies managing vendored dependencies using git-subtree. It allows developers to embed and update external project code directly within their repositories through Git commands. The tool streamlines the process of tracking third-party code as git subtrees, making dependency management more efficient for projects that prefer vendoring over package managers. It is hosted on GitHub and targets developers working with Git-based workflows.

    I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this. It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

    GitDiagram is an open-source micro dev-tool that I made this past week Given any public GitHub repository it generates diagrams in Mermaid.js with Claude 3.5 Sonnet I extract information from the file tree and README for details and interactivity (you can click components to be taken to relevant files and directories) Also, you can replace "hub" with "diagram" in any repository URL to access its diagram I created this because I wanted to contribute to open-source projects but quickly realized their codebases are too massive for me to dig through manually, so this helps me get started I do…
