I have a private repository on my own server hosted with gitolite. Now I want to opensource it on github, but still have one private branch.
All howtos are implying that I want to mirror whole repo with all tags and branches. But is it possible to have only common branch?
So, all I want is to keep my private branch up-to-date with public, but with some specific changes (these changes are even in separate catalog).
You could configure your local repository to push to both remotes.
git remote set-url --add --push origin git://github/repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push origin git://gitolite/repo.git
Then you could push the public branch to origin.
You could maintain your private branch separately, and push that to the gitolite remote.
git remote set-url gitolite git://gitolite/repo.git
You are free to merge or cherry pick differences between the branches.
