Question: Why not use something like bower?

[percebus]

I like how gil borrows inspiration from .gitmodules and attempts to do the same w/o maintaining a commit reference. But is a tool, from some guy on the internet. And has not being maintained in 2 years or so...

Yet, every year or so that I revisit the "svn:externals" equivalent, I end up reverting back to adding a bower file that points to git repos #refname (like #main or #v2).

• Yes, I know this isn't a bug/issue
• Yes, I know bower is deprecated

I feel like if any of these repo managers would allow for a pull from #main and put it in a relative path of the project, that's probably the better option.

(Apologies, there are no discussions enabled in this project)
