Gilt

Gilt is a tool which aims to make repo management, manageable. Gilt clones repositories at a particular version, then overlays the repository to the provided destination. An alternate approach to "vendoring".

What makes Gilt interesting, is the ability to overlay particular files and/or directories from the specified repository to given destinations. Originally, this was quite helpful for those using Ansible, since libraries, plugins, and playbooks are often shared, but Ansible's [Galaxy][] has no mechanism to handle this. Currently, this is proving useful for overlaying [Helm charts][].
