I made a post here about this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/600079/is-there-any-way-to-clone-a-git-repositorys-sub-directory-only/1223407#1223407 Basically, I'm working alone on a website (well, it's a facebook app.). What's the best way to sync my local copy with my production? but i want the production to only be linked with the production subdir of my local project. so, I have a local copy i'm working on that I've organized like so. call the project example. here are the dirs on my local comp. macbook. example -extra [this holds files i don't want to go to the webserver mainly for security reasons. files like .psd files or .sql files. or readme files. etc.] -example.com [this dir holds all the files i want on my server for production at http://example.com] i have local git repo here: example/.git now... how do i just push example.com and not extra and example.com? do i need to make another git repo in example.com and make example.com a submodule? i've also thought about using branches... a local branch and a production branch. but i only want one copy of the production files. because i want to be able to check out all the files and zip the dir and send it to someone to see. that doesn't really make sense conceptually because example is one big project. extra is like extra files and example.com is like what i really want to go on web server... thanks! -matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
