Git: Possible to use same submodule working copy by multiple projects?

Question

I\'m new to Git. Lets say, I have two git repositories that have the same library added as submodule:

/home/projects/project1/library_XYZ
/home/projects/proj         


        

Answer 1

You can do these since git 2.5:

1. Delete /home/projects/project2/library_XYZ
2. Delete /home/projects/project2/.git/modules/library_XYZ
3. cd /home/projects/project1/library_XYZ
4. create a branch project2 in /home/projects/project1/library_XYZ
5. run git worktree add ../../project2/library_XYZ project2

Now, /home/projects/project1/.git/modules/library_XYZ is shared between 2 projects.
