如何使用git共享项目的一部分

Question

I have a project which I will share with my team. But I just want parts of the project to be shared.

I have thougth use the branch. But it seems that it does not work.

I have tried this:

git init
git add -A
git commit -m "first commit"
git checkout -b share
//delete files unshared
git add -A
git commit "commit at share branch"

Do I miss anything?

Answer 1

You may create two separate repositories, one for the private code and second for the shared code. Then using git submodules make the shared repository a part of your private repository. Submodules allow you to keep a repository as a subdirectory of another repository. This way all files will be managed by git and still you will be able to share a specific part of the project with others.

Answer 2

Just dont add those files to the git.Or make a gitignore file that specifies files and folders to ignore. link
