Subdirectory from github as a git submodule

Question

A lots of repos for python on github use project structure for setuptools (for example https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth). But I want to make folder with module core to my project as a submodule. Can I use subdirectories from remote repo as a submodule in my repo?

Could you clarify what you mean by "I want to make folder with module core to my project as a submodule"? — Michael, Aug 29 '12 at 04:37

You can try the sparse checkout along with submodules.

Set Git submodule to shallow clone & sparse checkout?
