How do I reference a Git dependency in my project?

[njlr]

Description

I would like to use a Git dependency in my project. The Git repo contains .fsproj files, so I would expect referencing to be possible.

Repro steps

Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

1. Add the Git dependency to paket.dependencies at the "solution" level.

git https://github.com/org/proj.git

2. Install the packages.

dotnet paket install

Paket fetches the files and puts them into paket-files 👍

3. Add the Git package to paket.references of my project.

How?

Expected behavior

I should be able to reference the Git dependency somehow.

Actual behavior

I cannot find a way to reference the Git dependency. The docs do not explain what to do.

Known workarounds

Create a NuGet package instead?
