How can I mount a subdirectory of a repository using git submodule?

Question

git

Let's say I wanted to include a library from the official repository as a submodule. But the repository contains tests, demos and a lot of things that are not needed during development.
I would like to upload only a directory, let's say src. And at the same time be able to update regularly, send pull requests and other goodies.

Through the git submodule - no way. You can try projects like https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree or similar.
