Code exchange between two different git projects

Question

I have two different .Net projects hosted on github.

I would like to create a common "commons" library for two projects.

How do I structure my repository to facilitate this exchange?

Ideally, changing this shared library in one project can easily be transferred to another project. I prefer that the code itself be edited from two projects (in Visual Studio) and not include it as a library. Are there any better methods for doing this?

You can use Git submodules: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

Git Submodules are probably not your answer. See this blogpost for more information: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree/
