What do you find ugly about it?

[kuschku → dualogy]

You don’t properly separate and deduplicate dependencies, you can end up with legal issues (if you ever decide to redistribute your source), etc.

One of the few dependency systems I’ve seen that work well is Gradle with Maven dependencies, using Java 9’s versioned modules.

Proper versioning, proper dependencies, etc.

[bboreham → dualogy]

The idea of copying multiple other repos into mine.

I have used git submodules to avoid copying, but if one library has its own vendor'd copies you can end up with two versions of the same dependency. Which is even more ugly.
