One reason for that is using development approach specified by this document.\n\n## Motivation\nYou have combination of these problems:\n1. internal library\n1. library with minimal/small/no so big need for updating ~ technically done, just support\n1. no (stable) developer team for given library\n\n`git submodule`s give you:\n1. way to provide such library\n1. update library is just `git pull`\n1. developer using library has ability to create fix/change from inside his/her repository as a new PR request\n1. ↘this have to be tested (as „non LTS” version) in project where the library is used\n1. ↘it can make PR aproving quicker\n\n## Specification (version *LTS+sub-branches*)\nTo allow library be used as submodule and make library „working”/sustainable you should follow:\n1. There are reserved LTS (long term support) branches\n    1. default branch (*main*/*master*) = the latest version\n    1. branch with prefix **lts\\_**: lts\\_a, …, lts\\_z, lts\\_aa, …\n1. The default (*main*/*master*) branch contains the latest version of the library code\n1. When change is needed (user):\n    1. try existing non-lts branch for your lts branch\n    1. or\n        1. create new branch with patternt **source-unique** (*source*= name of the lts branch, *unique*= not used identificator to prevent colision)\n        1. create Pull Request\n    1. **automatically non-lts** ⇒ hast to be considered when testing parent library/app\n    1. commits\n1. Branches `lts\\_*` are created from default branch (automatically after PR is merged, on request, …)\n1. Consolitation of PRs ⇒ new library version update:\n    1. Contact coleagues about tests\n    1. Additional testing - reimplementation (prefering **backward support**)\n    1. Submit PR + delete branch\n\n## Label (version *LTS+sub-branches*)\nFor make statement that repo follows these instruction use:\n```markdown\n[![LTS+sub-branches](https://img.shields.io/badge/submodule-LTS+sub--branches-informational?style=flat-square\u0026logo=git)](https://github.com/IndigoMultimediaTeam/lts-driven-git-submodules)\n```\nin your `README.md` → [![LTS+sub-branches](https://img.shields.io/badge/submodule-LTS+sub--branches-informational?style=flat-square\u0026logo=git)](https://github.com/IndigoMultimediaTeam/lts-driven-git-submodules)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Findigomultimediateam%2Flts-driven-git-submodules","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Findigomultimediateam%2Flts-driven-git-submodules","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Findigomultimediateam%2Flts-driven-git-submodules/lists"}
