How to clone only a folder from a git submodule?

Question

I\'m trying to get just a folder from an external github repo to use in my project.

I want my project setup to be like this:

-my_project
    -submodu         


        

Answer 1

What you want to do is not feasible because you cannot clone a part of a repository.
