How to manage repositories on GitHub

Question

I'm new to git and wanted your opinion/advice on how I should set up my repo.

I have created a new repository (public), for a project that I'm going to be working on, on github. This project is an Android app. Now suppose that I also wanted to create the same app for WebOS, would this be a different branch of the same repo? Or would I be better off creating a different repo for the WebOS app and calling it something different?

Answer 1

If its related to the same project I would recommend putting things in folders

• android
• webos
• common
• website

So then each folder can have the files just for the platform. You can use the common dir to use anything that is common with all of them
