Hi, I’m writing a script that incorporates some functionality from another script. The other script is developed and maintained by someone else, hosted on github and released under the MIT license. What is the best way to incorporate that other repo into my own with an easy way to keep it updated when the other developer releases a new version. I don’t really intend to contribute to the other repo, just use their code.

    take a look at subtree, it incorporates the history of the upstream repository into your repository easily and if the upstream vanishes one day, you would still have a full repo history of upstream
