> If you have depedent projects, they should either be in a monorepo, or delivered through a packaging system so they are not depend on the specific local naming of other repos.

Git submodules is a thing ...

I'm not a fan of submodules, but indeed that also solves the problem OP described.

    Our git master actually considered this, but it would have caused other issues that I can't recall right now, so we got stuck with lots of repos. The readme literally has all the git commands, all they had to do was copy/paste them into the terminal.

      The problem with submodules in your scenario might be the mutual dependency of repos, everything else is just extra work with git config.
