working with GIT and multiple projects

Question

I have a core set of files I use for almost every project, but each project also has its own unique files too. When i work on one project i sometime update these core files

Answer 1

hmm... tough one maybe use a symlink?

Could you change the structure in which those shared items are in a shared repo and that is checked out on its own. This way, you ideally have 3 repos for 2 projects as example.

1 master 2 branch 3 shared

Using an MVC always helps with this at gitgo.. ;)

Answer 2

One possibility is that you put your core routines in a repository called "core" or something like that and then add that as a submodule to all your other projects.

Answer 3

Check out git submodules.

(Har! No pun intended.)

Answer 4

branches in git are probably not the best solution for your problem, but submodules are! but you need a repository for each project, plus a repository for your core files/libs.
