If it's really a problem with nimble, use another package manager, nimph, atlas (bundled with Nim, in the directory tools/atlas), etc or just do git clonefor every dep manually and add them to the path while compiling with --path:../path/to/dep/src/
git clonethe packages you want, go into the directory, and then execute nimble develop, it will create a link to the package directory, this way, no --path:parameter needed
