Why use git submodule, when the repo already use CMakes Fetchcontent?
2 comments

From CMakeLists.txt

# Prefer the in-tree submodule when present; only fall back to fetch.

That explains it. I guess my actual question was, why would you prefer submodules over fetchcontent :)
I don't know like to see it all connected on the Github web interface.
