I think you're right, my first thoughts were that if I start a new project I just "git submodule dependency1" and get all the required dependencies and the dependencies within the dependencies and so on ... . With your solution I "git submodule dependency1" and have to think about the dependencies it depends on. On the other hand we are just a small company and the number of submodules is not too big and the missing references in a new project would be easily identifiable, so ... . And if I want to checkout dependency 1 individually (for whatever reason), I could still do something like this: SuperDependency1 (with solution-File) Dependency1 (as submodule) Dependency2 (dependency of dependency1 - as submodule) Dependency3 (dependency of dependency1 - as submodule) Thanks again, I see my concept causes some trouble ... Any other thoughts or other workflows with git or with tools build around git?
