Git newbie would appreciate help (esp pointers to doc) for a usecase which I haven't seen written up anywhere: pairing public/private repositories, or branches, or whatever. What I mean:
I'm working on an OSS project for a client who requires publicly- visible code to be approved, i.e., * reviewed/approved code can be made publicly available (and with a permissive license), via, e.g., the usual github-style public repo * pre-review code must not be publicly available: a private repo is OK if password-protected. However I still want to version my code to the cloud, and I still don't wanna spend any money (I'm a student, working cheap). So I was thinking I could pair an OSS bitbucket private git repo (which is free) with an OSS github public repo (also free), such that * bitbucket:master always contains latest development code * github:master always contains latest approved code My process would be like: 1 Push normal dev commits from my local repo to bitbucket:master. 2 When I get to a review point, branch from bitbucket:master to bitbucket:review_<datetime1/> (where datetime1=when I submit code for review), and let the reviewer pull that branch. On approval: 3 Branch the code in github:master (i.e., the previous approval's code) to, e.g., github:approved_<datetime0/> (when that code was approved) 4 "Copy" the code from bitbucket:review_<datetime1/> to github:master What I'd like to know is, how to do step 4 such that I don't either * lose history * need to do a lot of merging ? Or am I thinking wrong, and should do Something Completely Different?
