Add a Git submodule to your KiCad project:
Create a file
sym-lib-tablewith:Create a file
fp-lib-tablewith:NOTE: Instead of creating or editing these files manually you can also add them through the GUI ("Project Specific Libraries"). KiCad will then create those files for you.
@ncarandini this results in a different workflow in which every project is self-contained. This is usually what you want if you work with others and for reproducibility. However, it's different from what you were doing so far, so I understand if this may not be suitable for merging. If so, please let me know and I'll consider to maintain my own fork.
If you think this is suitable for upstream, then let me know and I can update the documentation.
