Update plugins through Github?

Question

I've got some plugins (JS/AS3) pushed to my Github-account and I'm using them in multiple projects (of-course), which are also processed by Git. If I want to change one of the plugins, can I easily update all these projects with this new version somehow?

I'm not sure about the terminology here (forking? branching? pulling?), so it's kind of tricky to search for this.

Answer 1

Use Git submodules on the projects which use your plugins: http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html

Answer 2

What you are looking for is submodules in git.
