#How to achieve similar git structure like d.js

Im generally curious about how d.js managed to have the submodules in packages/ and apps/

when i create a monorepo and add my submodules to them, they are just displayed as links to other repositories in my monorepo (see screenshot)

i would much rather have it exactly like d.js made it. Is it possible that djs is actually using subtrees instead of submodules?

the command i used to add submodules is
git submodule add <url> <path>

i can successfully clone the submodules using git clone <url> --recurse but that doesnt solve the github issue

By not having them as submodules. It‘s just one single repository

i tried that, git just tells me it ignores the contents of the folders because they have .git folders

should i remove these?

raw socket

They shouldn’t have .git folders. They should just be regular folders within one single repository. But if they were git repositories before you probably don’t want to throw away the full history in there

yeah thats kinda my issue then

can i preserve the history somehow?

raw socket

As it seems the djs monorepo also only has the history of discord.js mainlib and not of the other subpackages before January 7th 2022, when the monorepo began

So mainlib was moved to subfolder, the rest of them were copied in
