git-extmodule

git command to mimic the svn-externals feature

This script is based on the git-external in ruby version by Daniel Cestari 2010 (https://github.com/dcestari/git-external)

Installation

Linux/Mac

• Add the git-extmodule to the $PATH and make it executable
• Alternatively, run git config --global alias.extmodule \!/path/to/git-extmodule. Note the exclamation mark. This has the advantage that you get some tab completion on the command line.

Windows

• Copy the git-extmodule to %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core
