Git - How do I manage built files in different branches?

Question

Some Background

I have been using Git for a while now. The projects that I have been working on have not been too complicated in regards to branches/tags.

Answer 1

Have you thought about worktrees?

$ git worktree add ../branch2 branch2

This will create a working tree checkout out to branch2

$ cd ../branch2
$ git branch
* branch2

You only have 1 local repo, but 2 different working areas, one for master and the other for branch2.

That way you can keep the object files separate as well.
