Body: <p>I have gitlab repo ZERO (project) which serves as a code base for multiple websites (repo ONE, TWO, THREE..), these are also gitlab repositories. I am using gitlab CI/CD options, I want to be able to build docker image consisting of code base repo ZERO + specific code in specific website repo, i.e. ONE. Base repo ZERO and project repositories ONE, TWO, THREE will be pushed to regularily.</p>
  <p>To me it seems usage of <code>git submodules</code> might be appropriate, but when doing internet research on this matter, <code>submodules</code> is getting hate for being complicated and slow. Are submodules straight solution for this usecase, or is there alternative solution which might suit me better?</p>

  To me it seems usage of `git submodules` might be appropriate, but when doing internet research on this matter, `submodules` is getting hate for being complicated and slow. Are submodules straight solution for this usecase, or is there alternative solution which might suit me better?
