git is not a package manager. It does not handle many things a package manager does.

GP never said it was.

But it does successfully replaces the need of using one, with less problems for certain situations.

Yes, I do use git submodules as well sometimes.

If you do not need the features of a package manager, then git submodules is great indeed.
