Git: Create repo as submodule -

i'd create new repository submodule of project.

usually, create github repo , add together submodule using command git submodule add together url_to_repo.git

is there way create new repo straight submodule without creating repo somewhere else first (neither locally nor remote e.g. on github)?

i don't see how could: submodule definition sha1 repo (ie other repo must exist parent repo extract said sha1): must have address referenced in .gitmodules file maintain in parent repo.

submodules composed so-called gitlink tree entry in main repository refers particular commit object within inner repository separate.

submodule.<name>.url

defines url submodule repository can cloned. may either absolute url ready passed git-clone(1) or (if begins ./ or ../) location relative superproject's origin repository.

so create submodule repo locally, must create anyway.
