Hi!

Will you be sharing anything between the projects? If you have data that will be shared between the two different implementations it would be enough with just a simple directory structure while still inside the same git repo.

repo.git:
 - <python based>
 - <c based>
 - ... 
 - <some other language based>
 - shared_data

Just create a new branch on the current code based and start working on the C based one. Then you can merge it back to the "main" code line if it works out.

Good luck!

// Peter

I am new to git and understand most of it except for merge. My question is - if I have project X on branch master and its coded in python but I then want to take that same project and code it in say C or C++ would I fork or branch the project?
