  • Ask HN: Why Are Git Submodules So Bad?
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Jun 2022
    i never found myself struggling with submodules, but at times i found myself just slightly annoyed (especially when having to remove/replace submodules), especially when they are used for simpler use cases.

    i actually ended up creating https://carvel.dev/vendir/ for some of the overlapping use cases. aside from not being git specific (for source content or destination), its entirely transparent to consumers of the repo as they do not need to know how some subset of content is being managed. (i am of course a fan of committing vendored content into repos and ignore small price of increasing repo size).
