| Aug 28, 2011 at 12:12 | comment | added | user916336 | Unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in the case of jQuery. Take a look at their repo github.com/jquery/jquery, it's just hundreds of individual .js files and a build script- so I can't include it in my project without just downloading a copy from jquery.com and committing it myself, or am I wrong? | |

As far as I'm aware, there is no "submodule" capability in SVN, so they didn't have any option but to recommit it. On another note, don't take WordPress as an example of best practice. | |
| Aug 28, 2011 at 12:01 | comment | added | user916336 | Others don't seem to do this though: take Wordpress, they seem to have just stuck the minified files they need from jQuery into a folder and committed them: github.com/wordpress/wordpress/tree/master/wp-includes/js/… | |

As is the nature of licensing, you can't split up and include only the files you want. You should include the whole project as it is packaged. git submodule add git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git public/vendor/jquery

| Aug 28, 2011 at 11:52 | comment | added | user916336 | git submodule is also something I'm unclear on. For example, my project uses jQuery and jQuery UI- how can I include it as a submodule as the source on GitHub is split into many files and folders. I've had the same thing with HTMLPurifier which I'm also using. The files I need are in one subfolder, but with git submodule it seems like I have no choice but to either include loads of extra stuff I don't need which will bulk out my project unnecessarily, or as you say commit someone else's work as my own! | |
