Ivy setup with Git?

I've used Ivy with SVN to manage dependencies for Actionscript projects in the past. The library I used was ivysvn.

It seemed to work pretty well, the svn repository hosted versioned binary .swc files for each Act开发者_如何学Goionscript library and I would pull them down into individual projects using ivysvn ANT tasks.

Is there a similar workflow like this for git? I'm guessing it might be a little more complicated (maybe using git submodules) since git can't really pull down individual files as far as I know. I'd also probably need another ANT task specific to git like the third party ivysvn libary. Is there a better way to manage 3rd party dependencies with git besides ivy?

You should rather use a repository manager like Nexus instead of abusing a SCM to manage binary artifacts.

I actually blogged about this a year ago. I hope it helps you.
