Lets assume that I extracted a sub folder "public" to a new repository "my_public_repository". Now I want to replace the public folder in the original project with the content of the new submodule (= I want to keep the original folder structure but change the origin).
I tried git submodule add https://github.com/user/my_public_repository.
Instead of the wanted folder strurcture
project
+ public
I got
project
+ my_public_repository
+ public
I tried to specify the target directory for git submodule add as the current directory with . or /. However, that did not work.
=> How can I directly add the content of the submodule, without extra folder for the project name?
