Submodules is the way to go, but really it's always a good idea to use tagged releases or commit id's for code from upstream as they might implement a breaking change at some point, taking Your project down with it.
It’s probably also good to link to a fork of the repo in question, in case the original disappears.
take a look at subtree, it incorporates the history of the upstream repository into your repository easily and if the upstream vanishes one day, you would still have a full repo history of upstream
Haven’t heard of, will check out! Thanks.
