My repository in git looks like this: -Project Repo -Sub Folder 1 -File 1

My repository in git looks like this:

-Project Repo
    -Sub Folder 1
         -File 1
         -File A
    -Sub Folder 2
         -SubSub Folder
              -File 2
              -File B

File 1 and File 2 are exact copies and rather than manually sync them, I’d like to do that automatically with git. At the same time Files A and B are not the same and I do not want them to be sync’d across. Is it possible to keep to files in sync in git?

    Hopefully a symbolic link is all you need.

    If you are in Linux/Unix you would issue the symlink creation command as follows:

    cd ".../Project Repo/Sub Folder 2/"
ln -s "../Sub Folder 1/File 1" "File 2"

    In a version of Windows that support symbolic links, you can try the mklink command:

    cd ...\Project Repo\Sub Folder 2
mklink "File 2" "..\Sub Folder 1\File 1"
