Question

I am fairly new to Git and am curious if anyone sees an issue with having the code for both my web application and client (iPhone) app under the same Git project.

I was thinking of creating a folder structure for git like the following:

MyProject
    ServerSide_Code
    iPhone_Code

Should these be broken out into separate projects? Can I break out one of them later on and keep their commit history?

Answer 1

I would keep them as two separate repositories (personally) – but it depends on how you plan to develop and release this.

To answer your second question: Detach (move) subdirectory into separate Git repository

The best method – IMO – if you wanted to keep these organized create two repos for each folder
then a third parent repo which will be able to track the sub- repos

Project (Git)
 - Server (Git)
 - Client (Git)
