Local libraries

Instead, it takes a more reasonable approach to the problem. There is no need to check the source code of the project dependencies into your repository. The only thing you need is to check in a sketch project file that specifies the versions of the dependencies that should be used. This is a standard software development practice. For example when developing a JavaScript project, we would never check in the node_modules folder where the npm package dependencies are installed because all we need is the information in the package.json and package-lock.json files to replicate that.

In a professional environment, you can not rely on resources hosted by third-parties. You need to have complete control on what libraries you use, their versions, what licenses they use and where they are hosted. We can either host them on our artifact server or in our version control system, but not with any third parties. How would I set up a build profile if I want to retrieve the libraries from our artifact server? (we use Artifactory)
