Discussion - use submodule over clone #257

Closed maifeeulasad closed 3 years ago

maifeeulasad commented 3 years ago

One of the crucial command on using this template repository is : 

git clone https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template lib

But wouldn't it be more cool if we use sub-module, like : 

git submodule add https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template

If it is cool, can I get assigned to this ?

That is already documented as an option here: https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template/blob/main/doc/REPO.md

Of course, then you have to deal with all the drawbacks of submodules.
