Is exists a way to commit several directories not in a tree structure in only one master branch on g-CodePudding

What I'm trying to do is git in a one master branch the following structure:

/var/www/mysite/public_html
/dev/only_this_file.txt
/etc/directory/things
/other/other/other/other

and everything without generating any git file inside any of those directories or subdirectories, that must be untouched.

Is this possible?

I'm working on Debian Buster

CodePudding user response：

you can use a working directory with the use of --git-dir and --work-dir (or the corresponding environment variables GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE)

e.g.

cd /var/www/mysite/public_html
export GIT_WORK_TREE=$(pwd)
git --git-dir=/home/git/mysite init
git --git-dir=/home/git/mysite add *
git --git-dir=/home/git/mysite commit

(you would probably want to define an alias that sets the proper arguments)

i don't think you can have multiple disjoint working-trees living in the same git repository.
