Question

I have my main project hosted in GitHub. Everything is good and works.

Now I'm trying to create a Solaris port. I make myself an OpenSolaris VM installed Solaris Studio as compiler/IDE and built.

Everything works fine.

Now what I'm thinking is that since Solaris Studio is completely different IDE/compiler from MSVC/Anjuta/Xcode, I should create a different repository (NOT A FORK) and push Solaris stuff there.

The only problem is - code synchronization.

If I make the change in my main repository and push it to remote, I want my second repository to be updated as well with the changes to the *.cpp/.h files.

Is there exist some kind of hook to do that?

Or maybe I'm better off with creating a fork? But then changes to the build system will be overwritten.

Please advise.

This is the current structure for the main project:

Project folder -> main app folder (*.cpp, *.h, *.sln, Makefile.am/Makefile.in, xcodeproj folder)
                     |
                     ----> library 1 folder (*.cpp, *.h, *.sln, Makefile.am/Makefile.in, xcodeproj folder)

I wouldn't even bother with a fork.

I would just make sure the build system is isolated in its own folder, which allows you to have in one repository two build configuration folders:

• one for a default environment
• one dedicated to a Solaris environment

That way, you can go on contributing to the code, from either one of those environments, without having to deal with any synchronization issue.
