copied!<p>Another trick is to use an independent branch, checked out in a subtree of your project, as Junio Hamano (the current Git maintainer) does with Git's <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/shortlog/refs/heads/todo" rel="noreferrer">todo</a>. Cookbook:</p> <pre><code>$ cd project/ $ git branch * master $ git init META </code></pre> <p>You can now create your “To Do list” and other files in <code>META/</code></p> <pre><code>$ cd META/ $ echo '* Item 1' > todo.org $ git add todo.org $ git commit -m 'Initial version of TODO file' [master (root-commit) 64748ba] Initial version of TODO file 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 todo.org </code></pre> <p>Let's change the branch name to <code>meta</code>, too, and push it back to the main repository:</p> <pre><code>$ git branch -m meta $ git push .. meta </code></pre> <p><em>You will have to remember to push the branch back after each commit; setting up a post-commit hook may be in order.</em></p> <p><code>META/</code> now shows up as an untracked file in the main repository; let's ignore it locally:</p> <pre><code>$ cd .. $ git status # (Shows META/ as untracked) $ echo META/ >> .git/info/exclude </code></pre> <p>You can now switch branches at will, and <code>META/</code> will stay untouched—as long as the branch you are switching to does not include a conflicting path, of course.</p> <p>The main repository now contains an additional, totally independent branch, which can be pushed and pulled as any other part of your project:</p> <pre><code>$ git branch * master meta $ gitk --all </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/8CXzh.png" alt="Screenshot"></p>
