How to setup git server which combined with other remote repository?

Question

I want to build up a git server which provider source management on the project which is related to other project using git.

For example, i checkout linux mainstream code, and made some modifications, which are just like new machine ports, on the code.
i want to use git to manage this modified code. at the same time, i want to merge the mainstream code in sometimes.

btw, i would also modify the mainstream code. they are not seperated.

i must try to explain it. there is another thing i havn't noticed. i want to setup a remote server in order to manage the code have been modified, or the whole source tree.

how to solve that problem?

Answer 1

You can clone the Linux mainstream repo, make a branch which you can:

• update by making your additions (new port)
• update by making your modification (in the existing code)
• rebase on top of the master branch (which track Linux code mainstream master branch) once in a while, in order to include in your branch any new remote development.
