git-extras
GIT utilities -- repo summary, repl, changelog population, author commit percentages and more
Project mention: ToolGit: A collection of scripts that extend Git with various sub-commands | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-03Obligatory mention of https://github.com/tj/git-extras/blob/main/Commands.md for more/similar commands.
Especially useful to me is `git bulk` to apply a command to all the git repos under the directory, and `git ignore "bin/"` to quickly add something to the `.gitignore` file.

I believe git-secret[0] does what you describe. The author of Lunar[1] uses it to hide the private elements in a public repo.

Checkout git subrepo [0] if you also find working with submodules cumbersome.
It has a different set of trade offs and works without any problems or changes to your workflow if they fit. (Only thing it has problems is rebasing, under specific circumstances)

GitAlias - https://github.com/GitAlias/gitalias/
GitAlias is a big list of git alias commands that aims to help developers by providing shortcuts, patterns, workflows, etc.
We're always looking for better ways to use git. This includes coming up with new aliases, and also improving existing aliases by adding parameters, and writing better docs.
