Nest Git repository in multi module maven project












1















I want to have a multi-module maven project which has for example the following structure.



+ parent
| - proj1
| - proj2


Now I want to have for the modules parent, proj1 and proj2 an own git repository to manage them individually.



What is the best approach here?




  • Shall I simply create with git init . starting from the submodules (proj1, proj2) the repository for each module?

  • Or Shall I create for the submodules (proj1, proj2) a repository and add them as submodules with git submodule add to the parent project and ignore them via .gitigore?

  • Or is there even an other option?

          That would be the preferred approach (as I mentioned here), only if those projects have to evolve independently one from another.

          And you don't have to modify your .gitignore file: no need to ignore those submodules.

          • But shall I really ignore the submodules?
