The pain with submodules

I want to cache some nix packages that I authored in other GitHub repositories. Currently, there is a lack of consent how to do this properly on NUR.

There are git submodule and fetchTree approaches, but neither looks straightforward to me. To be pragmatic here, I just use a git subtree to include my upstream packages as they are relatively small in size. The moment a proper solution emerges, I will replace this workaround. If you know a better solution, feel free to post me on LinkedIn.

git subtree add --prefix pkgs/s3-browser-cli https://github.com/nesto-software/s3-browser-cli.git main --squash

To update the subtree, run: git subtree pull --prefix pkgs/s3-browser-cli https://github.com/nesto-software/s3-browser-cli.git main --squash
