我可以在自己的存储库中有一个克隆的git存储库吗？

Question

Say I've got a project under git version control. Within that project, I have a folder called "third_party_tools." And within that folder, I've got a folder called "some_open_source_tool," which was cloned from github.

Will this cause problems? Can I check the tool into git for my project and retain the ability to pull from github if there are updates? Or is it not permitted to have one git repo inside another?

Answer 1

It is permitted to have one git repository inside another. If you want to check the tool into your outer project, I would recommend you look into submodules , which allow you to keep nested git projects in sync properly.

Answer 2

如果使用--recursive标志进行克隆，Nathan将获得所需的内容。
