Git push to a folder

Question

I am creating a port of an app for win mobile 7 and I would like to push my master to "master/platforms/windowsmobile7" of the remote server.

is there a simple way of doing this without creating a whole tree structure and moving my project directory to somewhere else.

Your local copy of the remote repository is supposed to be a clone of it. You don't "push a folder" or a file, or a tree. You push commits. These are differences between two states of the repository.

So, I would say :

I don't think there's a way of doing what you want to do
It wouldn't be good practice

If you want to have sub projects in a repository, usually git submodules is the way to go.

It seems to me like you just want another branch: git checkout -b windowsmobile7 It's generally recommended to try to factor out platform-specific code into modules, though. That makes it easier to maintain common code over time.
