I looked through similar questions and couldn't find a suitable answer.

I have a script that needs to be available for daily reports. Is it possible to host my code in a separate directory/ repo and only 'push' major updates to this directory/ repo for maximum uptime?

Right now, I'm working in the directory the script is hosted in, so the script is broken from the time I checkout a dev branch, until I return to master.

For example, I want leave the working file in one directory that gets major updates only:

/daily_report/daily_report.sh

And then have another directory for incremental development that allows the main directory to be unchanged until a new major update is ready to go live:

/daily_report_dev/daily_report.sh

Is this possible?

You could consider a checkout of your repo twice: two different branches in two different folders.

  • one branch checked out in /daily_report
  • one branch checked out in /daily_report_dev

Since Git 2.5, you can checkout a repo in multiple folders.

That way, you can work in the /daily_report_dev folder (checked out to the dev branch), without impacting your main branch, checked out in the /daily_report folder.
