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.

Couple of others have suggested to Submodules. git subtree is another alternative. Personally, I felt subtree much more easier to use.
