I'm pretty new to the whole version control thing, and even more so with git. I recently installed git on my computer(s) and set it up on a NAS server.

However, I have several client folders with several project folders per client folder.

Each one of these client folders is a giant repo, encompassing every project inside it.

What I'm wondering is, is there a way to break this apart? So, for instance:

  1. The NAS is my 'origin', and has gitolite installed

  2. On computer1 I have every project folder in a client folder ever created (clean branch),

  3. In computer2 I do not a new checkout of the client branch (because all the projects in that branch are all completed and I don't need a working copy of it), but I do have a brand new project folder for that client "newproject".

Is there a way to commit and push to the NAS repo from computer2?

Or perhaps is there a better way of organizing all this?
