Thanks Sam, I'll have a look out of curiosity but I am very reluctant to introduce/recommend Git submodules to any of my projects. You might say it's because I don't understand how they work that I fear them but they have caused much heartache in the past and a recent team I was on had nothing but trouble as a whole. Surely there is a better way?
I will look at it for inspiration though and I appreciate your reply :) Conor On Thursday, 23 August 2018 00:35:49 UTC+1, Sam Vilain wrote: > > Check out vendetta - it uses git submodules, so you keep a cache of the > 3rd party repo in git but not the actual content.
