| Dec 6, 2013 at 1:13 | comment | added | qwertymodo | It's too bad Windows doesn't support real symbolic linking. Otherwise, I could check out submodules into their own directory and symlink them in the main source tree. Edit: actually, I'm finding references to Windows Vista/7 actually supporting symlinks... I'll have to look into it. | |
| Dec 6, 2013 at 1:02 | comment | added | Jed Schneider | ah, yah. that wouldn't work. they need to be separate subdirectories. sorry, sounds like you're stuck in the same word as JavaScript was for the last couple decades: copy and paste :/ Guess you could always write a package management system for arduino. | |
| Dec 6, 2013 at 0:59 | comment | added | qwertymodo | But can I check out 2 submodules into the same directory? I got the impression that a submodule needs to be checked out into its own subdirectory, which wouldn't work here. The Arduino ecosystem doesn't have any nice features like package management, it just has a single folder within your user directory that is treated like it's in the same folder as the Arduino install directory (i.e. user libraries in ~/Arduino/libraries/MyLib are treated the same as if they were in $(ARDUINOPATH)/libraries), but you are limited to that one directory ~/Arduino or else your libs aren't found. | |

Better formatting for the directory lists

| Dec 6, 2013 at 0:51 | comment | added | Jed Schneider | yep, submodules will give you this functionality, but they can be a hassle to manage. if the arduino ecosystem has some sort of package management, I'd go that direction instead. If not, and you will not be editing the code inside the other sketches, yah, submodules will work | |
