Subnostr

Rust question: I have a fork of rust-nostr that has a copy of a library that I adapted to a different use case, and I want to have the source within the same project that I'm using it in (adding SQL migrations).

Should I add a new crate to the cargo workspace in the same repository and reference it that way, or should I just put it inside a folder in my existing binary project and use it like that?

You can use ```git submodule```.

It's like a repo in a repo. So when you add your folder, you can keep it separate from the rust project's git repo.

So I still need to maintain the fork, I just add the fork as the submodule right?

I think so, I I understand right. You have a two forked repos, and you can include one in the other as a submodule. The parent repo just requires a single commit any time the submodule changes and is pulled in.
