I've heard this often. Why don't they scale? I used them for some years for a team of ten or so people who all first had to learn to understand how they worked

Why don't they scale?
I used them for some years for a team of ten or so people who all first had to learn to understand how they worked so might that be the problem?
- rtpg 3y agoIt’s just annoying? Especially if you have access to everything, at one point just having a monorepo makes git “actually work”.
- duped 3y agoThe configuration of ssh vs https can break a lot of workflows, the inability to (reliably) track a branch from a submodule can make maintenance a pain, I've never really figured out how to reasonably do a rebase in the presence of gitmodules changes on both branches, github actions had broken support for submodules for quite awhile... just to name a few. There's not one giant issue with submodules. There are dozens of small annoyances and footguns. I have yet to see a problem that is better solved by git submodules that can't be solved another way.
