Summary
It would be nice to be able to install packages from git that are not in the root of the repo. For example like the packages in the core repo.
I found some instructions on how to do that here.
Example for the settings-view package:
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar
cd pulsar
git sparse-checkout set packages/settings-view
cd packages/settings-view
Enter your response below:
It would allow the installation of packages that have been moved into the core repo directly from git.
Any alternatives?
Do the installation manually. It would be possible but for example updating would not work.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how ppm installs packages from git, then compare that flow with the sparse-checkout commands in the issue; done means a package in a repository subdirectory can be installed and updated directly from git.
