Show HN: Vdm, a sane alternative to e.g. Git submodules


A General-Purpose Versioned-Dependency Manager. Contribute to opensourcecorp/vdm development by creating an account on GitHub.

vdm is an alternative to e.g. Git Submodules for managing arbitrary external dependencies for the same reasons, in a more sane way. Unlike some other tools that try to solve this problem, vdm is language-agnostic, and can be used for any purpose that you would need remote development resources. Make the sync mechanism more robust, such that if your spec file changes to remove remotes, they'll get cleaned up automatically.
