Following Miguel Aveiro's link, I noticed a parameter called subpath that I had never see: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#git-fetcher This parameter may provide you the feature you are looking for.

I had thought about using this solution initially. In my case I have a common git repo for some 20 different applications and planning to write an individual recipe for each application. If I plan to use in this way, I have 20 copies in my disk which I don't want to have.

In the SRC_URI variable, you set the git repo access. Now let's say that your sub-directory relative path is "src/myapp". Son now you just have to add to your recipe this line: S = "${WORKDIR}/git/src/myapp" It is not optimized from a disk usage point of view (a full copy of the repo files is in ${WORKDIR}/git) but it works.

Also in SRC_URI is it possible to include a directory instead of a single file? I know I could create a tar file of a directory and include it , but I would like to know is it possible to include directory as a SRC_URI.
