Description
Description
I would like to use a Git dependency in my project. The Git repo contains .fsproj files, so I would expect referencing to be possible.
Repro steps
Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem
- Add the Git dependency to
paket.dependenciesat the "solution" level.
git https://github.com/org/proj.git
- Install the packages.
dotnet paket install
Paket fetches the files and puts them into paket-files 👍
- Add the Git package to
paket.referencesof my project.
How?
Expected behavior
I should be able to reference the Git dependency somehow.
Actual behavior
I cannot find a way to reference the Git dependency. The docs do not explain what to do.
Known workarounds
Create a NuGet package instead?

Determine whether the fetched .fsproj files have a supported reference workflow, then update the documentation to explain the required steps or the limitation clearly.
