Can we restrict the feature development to certain folders

Question

HI,

I have a quick question. I want to create a repository system in which I want to keep structure like this.

1. Master from this version we create releases.

2. Development-> Current development tasks goes into this folder.

3. Feature will be created as a branch from development. I want my development team to be able to branch out certain folders only.Like I have 100 folders and out of those I only want the development team to have access to two folders only. Is their a way I can achieve this.

There's nothing very specific about submodules in Bitbucket, so here's a good tutorial on Git submodules in general. There's also an alternative solution which might be a better fit – Git subtree.

Hope this helps.

I am trying to find a good tutorial on creating and managing submodules with bit bucket but not finding any. Can you please share a good tutorial

Whatever fits your workflow better, I can't give any advice on this, sorry. Submodules are backed by external repositories, so there's not much difference in terms of configuring access policies.
