Is git worktree close enough? In the past, I’ve used it roughly the way you describe.


I don't think I've tried that.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[UPDATE] Ah. Now I remember [0]

It does roughly that, but it still insists on bringing in the entire repo (as does all Git).

The thing that SS did, was allow you to create a "chimera" workspace, composed of just tiny parts of other workspaces.

It was a great way to share sample and SDK stuff, without, for example, sending over a ton of testing code.

Many of my repos have more testing code than implementation code; not to mention a ton of documentation.
