what problems did you experience with git submodules?
- activepeanut 14y agoYou can't push your modifications to a submodule you don't own. Also, you can only remove a submodule manually. There's no option to have git do it for you.
- interpol_p 14y agoRegarding pushing modifications: Why not fork the submodule to your own remote? That's what we do.
- redshirtrob 14y agoThe first thing you should do is fork the repository and set up a remote for pulling in upstream changes. There are a lot of useful libraries out there, but I find I occasionally need to make changes. Sometimes there are bugs; sometimes the maintainer has lost interest. I need to be able to pick up the slack when that happens.
