Taking git to the next level!
hju is a tool to manage a set of repositories in a parent repository. The biggest difference with git submodules is that submodules points to specific commits in the child repositories. The managed repositories are in a file named hju.json and the folders are ignored using .gitignore when using hju to add repositories.
