As I am new to Git, i need some advise with this. I have a main project that is runnable on its own and inside it there is a folder that is considered as a sub-project. I can run and have a separate executable for each.

I did my search and only found this answer,

Is that possible and if so how it could be done?

CodePudding user response：

One possible avenue would be to declare the project1 repository as a submodule of project2.

That means:

• project1 no longer has a project2 subfolder (and ignore project2 existence)
• project2 has a project1 subfolder, which helps project2 to build itself, picking from the project1 subfolder the features it needs.
• Any edit in that project2 will not to be included in project1
