Does anyone have experience using git to maintain two separate versions of something (ports for different platforms) that nevertheless share some core code? Is there a reasonable way to do this? (Submodules???)
@brunodias sounds like a repo for common code, two repo for the ports which have the common code as a submodule
@brunodias but I've also seen repos which maintain everything in a single monolithic repo, e.g. https://github.com/ibrdtn/ibrdtn has Linux/Unix and Android ports as well as common code
@brunodias Submodules are the best way I have found for this sort of thing, but they still aren't perfect.
