Maven release: avoid checking out the whole branch

Question

I am developing big modular solution, which is stored under single GIT repository. That's becomes a huge problem, when deploying separate components to Nexus.

E.g. to deploy new version of tiny scirpt, I have to checkout the whole branch. But logically this script belongs to the project, so it would be impractical to store it in a separate git repo.

Is there solution to this problem?

Answer 1

Since you have a big repository, if you extract the binaries and clean the history of your repo as shown here, and maybe putting the binaries in another repo, your problem should solve.
