This is an organizational question for iOS and OSX developers.
When you are using the automatically generated git repository for an Xcode project, how do you add/commit your non-project files such as PSDs or other third-party tool files that are the “source” for the image and audio resources? Do you add them using the git command line, or do you prefer to maintain a separate repo for these files?
I used to use the command line, but now use a GUI, to add them where they make sense in git, for example a “Source Images” folder for psd files, but I do not check in any generated files (i.e. PNG files generated from the PSDs.)
My git GUI app du-jour is Source Tree to add the files.
I also add a custom .gitignore to all of my repos and check it in as well, but that is a different discussion.
I feel that having separate repos makes it easier to make mistakes and lose important changes, since you do not need to cd to a different repo and run the git commands there.
