Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm going to start an open source
project from scratch, using git (via github) to manage the
source. The project will be written in C# and will depend on at
least two external libraries (more are likely to come). I wonder
how I should reference the libraries, and the following ideas
came to my mind:    • A folder within the project that contains
all external libraries as dll     This would mean I have the dll
files in my repo, which I think is bad, because it isn't source.
Also, I don't know how Visual Studio (or other IDEs) store the
path the libraries, if they use absolute paths, that would be
impossible.    • Get the external libraries via nuget     This
would be a clean and nice way to have the libraries organized,
but what what if a library I need doesn't have a nuget-package?
I can't just create one, can I?    • Storing the source of the
external library as part of my repo     Sounds like a stupid
idea, it would make updating the libraries a pain.    •
