Installation method for git project and lost in the branches

[Zehir]

Hello,

I am a bit lost with the git module installation. The documentation say :

git submodule add https://github.com/expressobits/inventory-system.git addons/inventory-system
git submodule update --init --recursive

But the plugin get installed not in the correct directory;
I expected : addons/inventory-system/bin/inventory_system.gdextension
And I got : addons\inventory-system\inventory-system\addons\inventory-system\bin\inventory_system.gdextension

So the addon is not loading and Godot complain about a duplicated project.godot file.

Then I notice the module branch so I used it to install it;

git submodule add -b module https://github.com/expressobits/inventory-system.git addons/inventory-system

Now I am getting the correct path and the addon is loading;
res://addons/inventory-system/bin/inventory_system.gdextension

The problem now is that my .git folder load 478Mb of data and in the addon directory I have 126Mb of data.

I guess it's because I have loaded 3 previous versions. So in the future this folder will be big.
I tried to use the depth 1 option but did not worked;

git submodule add --depth 1 -b module https://github.com/expressobits/inventory-system.git addons/inventory-system

The commits between the addon branch and the module branch are not in sync so I don't know if I can use the module branch or if it's just a test. The release tab is missing the 2.11.0 that is present in the module branch but not in the addon branch.

There is also some branch that could probably be deleted like the copilot ones I think the repo need a good cleanup for this new year.

Until I find a better way I have installed the addon from the asset lib and git ignore it

Yes, it needs a cleanup. Regarding the module, yes, it's a mirror of the addons to be used as Git modules, but when I need to make changes, I do it in the addons itself.
