You don`t need a Git repository for every directory, but only one repository for the root directory, and it will track everything all the way down from there, recursively -- everything you tell it to track, actually, as Philip already mentioned. Note again that Git tracks _files_ (content, to be precise), so if you have empty directories, or directories with untracked files only, Git won`t bother with those directories, as it finds them irrelevant, no content to track in there. That sad, you certainly _can_ have more Git repositories one inside another as there may be valid reasons you would want to do so, but that usually involves some more Git knowledge, and might be you shouldn`t be bothered with it for now :) Regards, Buga -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
