I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to create an independent git repo within an existing git repo.
Essentially, what i have is a CFD code i wrote. It carries a folder structure such as:
repo
=>caseFiles =>sourceFiles =>postProcess
^case file folders ^multiple directories ^multiple directories
Now the issue is, I dont want to add the caseFiles to the repo, because they change case to case, and since this is a program used by many people i wouldnt want to overwrite other peoples cases.
So the question is, how do i elegantly track my changes in my case files without hindering others using the git repo? I tried branching and adding, but the merging screwed everything up.
Is it possible for me to create a separate repo within the casefiles folder?
I hope i was clear... this is overall a rather confusing situation because this is a huge shared library of cfd solvers.
