Git repository: Add Extras/Plugins as submodule

koosvdkolk

Dear Allan,

I recently discovered an interesting Git functionality: submodules. A Git submodule can be considered as an Git repository inside another Git repository. This makes it possible to separately version the main module and each submodule, while keeping a relation between the two.

Would it be a good idea to add the Extras/Plugins as submodules of the DataTables repository?

Best regards,
Koos

Sounds like a very good idea! Thanks for letting me know about that. I'll look at adding it in while I'm restructuring the repos.

Good read on the subject, also with some (possible) drawbacks: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/03/git-submodules-workflows-tips/
