Hi so this question has probably been asked before but since I am unsure of the terms to use I cannot find the answer. So I have a github repo A which contains data structure classes and is incomplete. I want to access it in repo B and repo C. Is there a way I can go about doing this so that i can keep updating repo A and testing it in repo B and C. Sorry for asking what i assume is a redundant question I am just unsure of what I am supposed to be searching and I keep finding things that are not related or I am not understanding as related.

Git is the tool. Github is the website. You may find submodules to be what you want. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules – OneCricketeer Oct 19 '16 at 22:47

Check out git submodules. These are basically nested repositories so you can better manage your network/repositories/code.
The link above provides a quick output-oriented guide on how you should go about setting up submodules for a repository.
For a more beginner-friendly tutorial, check out this article instead.
