Question

On local development, and on the test server, the public folder is public_html, but on production it’s html. I’d like to avoid changing too many settings – is there a way for Git to understand these are the same folder?

Edit

Here’s the structure for reference:

Test server
- webapp
    - app
    - core
- public_html
    - index.php

Production server
- webapp
    - app
    - core
- html
    - index.php

Answer 1

Symbolic links would save the day, assuming a sane platform. Git can store the symbolic link.

I’d have the symbolic link be the dev/test server name, not the production name.
