Third-party tools

Tools outside Git that also keep a library in a monorepo folder, or move changes between a monorepo and other repositories. Each comparison takes the same example as Git's own tools until it hits the tool's pain points, then shows how git-splice handles them. A page that runs the tool prints its version.

	git-subrepo	Josh	splitsh-lite	Export tools	git-splice
Library in the monorepo	files, one commit per pull	files, with copies of the library's whole history	files	files	files, one commit per pull
Changes back to the library	every push also commits to the monorepo, and a squash merge or rebase strands that commit	a push sends the monorepo's commits as they are	none: a faster git subtree split that publishes read-only repositories	a separate workflow: a pull request is imported, and closed rather than merged	push rebuilds the commits since the last sync
Built around	one upstream branch for every monorepo branch	git bisect and git blame into the library, any slice of the monorepo as a repository	publishing folders of a monorepo	one repository as the source of truth	changing a library in the monorepo and sending the changes back
