Github Branches

Question

I have a project I'm working on and am hiring contractors to help me on certain parts of the code. The catch is that I don't want any one of the contractors to see all of it.

Is there a way on GitHub that I can assign them a branch under a private repository? Will this require the command line or can I do it on the website?

Answer 1

Have you considered using submodules?

Git's submodule support allows a repository to contain, as a subdirectory, a checkout of an external project.
