because git submodules are the f*cking devil
- kovetskiy 10y agoI partially agree with this thesis, but I dunno any solutions that better than git submodules. Everything is just the worst, manul just sucks less.
- dang 10y agoI'm no fan myself, but please don't make HN worse because you don't like a software feature.
- rebelchicken 10y agoFair enough. I've found that git submodules rapidly become an unwieldy mess of dependencies that make developing and deploying applications and project quite difficult. Many vendoring solutions have started off using git submodules for convenience but they are almost always supplanted by a more robust solution e.g. composer, bundler, etc. I feel that it's a mistake to utilise git submodules for this reason and move straight onto a solution which provided true dependency resolution.
