You can use git submodules, for example like this

Do not use submodules. They are ugly, hard to understand and to maintain. Much better is to use subtrees.

Git subtree is a part of GIT since 1.7.11 and I wrote an article about sharing code between Rails applications: http://igor-alexandrov.github.com/blog/2013/03/28/using-git-subtree-to-share-code-between-rails-applications/

In short: yes git-subtree works and works great!
