Is it possible to push the changes in the .git directory to a remote repository?
I wish to have a common project description and not have to re-enter it for all the clones of my repository.
It’s strange that the project description is something that is not common to each clone.
You could store a
description(or.description, if you don’t want it to be visible) in the root of your repo, and then symlink.git/descriptionto that in each repo, like so:You’d have to set up the symlink manually in each of your repos, but you’d only have to do that once (when the repo is created).
Or you could use a post-receive hook to copy your tracked description file into
.git/description. You’d have to set up that hook on each remote repo, too, but again, that would only need to happen once (when the repo is created).
