Just put these files in your cmake directory or, if you already use git, the easiest way is to use the git-subtree command.
You could use git-remote to add this repo to your set of tracked repositories, and then use a short name in all next git-subtree commands, e.g. cmake-modules instead of the full URL to this repo.
git remote add cmake-modules [email protected]:tsayukov/cmake-modules.git
Use the next command to initial checkout. --prefix= points to cmake that is a default directory where CMake modules live in. --squash prevents merging the entire history from this repo, produces only a single commit with all the differences.
git subtree --squash --prefix=cmake add cmake-modules main
To get updates:
git subtree --squash --prefix=cmake pull cmake-modules main
