"/dev/sda" is the physical device and "/dev/sda6" a physical partition
of the hard drive "sda".
Inside a partition, we may find (usually after the installation process
of the system) a filesytem. The filesytem contains the files we can
access to when mounted to the virtual filesytem (begining at "/").
While using user application which works on usual files (like git does),
we don't care about the underlying local hard drive device ("/dev/sda"
here).
You can safely forget all the "/dev/<something>" things here.

With the above in mind, could you please try to rephrase your problem
(and maybe provide a basic use case with the commands to reproduce it) ?
