Here is what Tribality has on there site:
Githzerai Traits
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Age. As with githyanki, it is difficult to tell a githzerai’s true age though the reasons are far different. Githzerai reside on the chaotic plane of Limbo, a plane that answers to the will of the sentient beings that reside there. Though creatures age in Limbo it is suspected that the strength of the githzerais’ will can allow it to survive decades, if not centuries, longer than it would living on the Material Plane. If born and raised on the Material Plane, scholars believe githzerai would reach maturity around the age of 16 and could live as long as 150 years.
Alignment. See Alignment and the Gith above.
Size. Though slighter of build and slightly taller than humans, githzerai possess equivalent muscle strength but lighter mass. This muscle-to-body-mass ratio grants them sometimes shocking agility and speed. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Innate Psionics. You gain the mage hand cantrip. The hand summoned by this spell is invisible. In addition, choose one of the following spells: feather fall, jump, or shield. You may cast the chosen spell once per long rest. At 3rd level, you may select a second spell from the list. At 5th level, you may cast see invisibility once per long rest. These spells are considered psionic powers, therefore you may cast them without the use of material components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability with these spells.
Telempathic. You gain proficiency with either Insight or Perception checks (your choice)
Languages. You speak, read and write Gith as well as one other language (typically Common).
Githyanki Traits
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Age. It is nearly impossible to determine the true age of a githyanki, as creatures who live on the Astral Plane do not age. Hatcheries and young githyanki are born and raised in highly secretive creches across the Material Plane and reach maturity at 16 years of age. Scholars believe that if allowed to age on the Material Plane githyanki could live as long as a century.
Alignment. See Alignment and the Gith above.
Size. Though slighter of build and taller than humans, githyanki possess highly efficient and finely toned musculature, granting them impressive and often surprising strength. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Innate Psionics. You gain the mage hand cantrip. The hand summoned by this spell is invisible. At 1st level you may cast jump once per long rest. At 3rd level, you may cast misty step once per long rest. At 5th level, you may cast tongues once per long rest with a range of Personal. These spells are considered psionic powers, therefore you may cast them without the use of material components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability with these spells.
Bred for War. You gain proficiency with either Athletics or Intimidate checks (your choice).
Languages. You speak, read and write Gith as well as one other language (typically Common).
So if we broke that up into Race and Subraces we would have something like:
Race: Gith
ASI - Wisdom +1
Age:Maturity at 16 life expectancy varies depending on Plane
Size: Medium
Speed: 30ft
Innate Psionics. You gain the mage hand cantrip. The hand summoned by this spell is invisible. In addition, choose one of the following spells: feather fall, jump, or shield. You may cast the chosen spell once per long rest. At 3rd level, you may select a second spell from the list. At 5th level, you may cast see invisibility once per long rest. These spells are considered psionic powers, therefore you may cast them without the use of material components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability with these spells.
Languages: Gith and one other
Subraces
Yanki -
ASI Strength +2
Bred for War. You gain proficiency with either Athletics or Intimidate checks (your choice).
Zari -
ASI Dexterity +2
Telempathic. You gain proficiency with either Insight or Perception checks (your choice).
Thing I might add to each one:
Both - Disadvantage on any CHA based roll with the other Gith Subrace
