How can I group several git repositories into one repository

I'm attempting to create several Atom (the text editor) packages, and according to the distribution guidelines, each package has to have its own Github repository. I want to keep all my packages in one large repository on Github while still following the Atom package guidelines.

I've already looked into submodules, but I don't believe that they will help with what I want to accomplish.

If this is not doable, then how can I maintain one repository for all my Atom packages while still adhering to the Atom guidelines?

Since Atom asks you to have one repository per package, there's little you can do about it.

Just as you have thought, you could use submodules:

  • One repository per package.
  • One umbrella repository whose only purpose is to hold all the other repositories as submodules, so that when you develop them, you have all grouped inside this main repository.
    • The only main thing you win is just having them grouped under this umbrella.
