Hi I'm new to Git and I've read the manual and tried my best to understand it.
I have a project that is going to have many versions, all the same except for the config file, the unit/functional tests and some display information.
I have seen that I can create branches and then merge them. I wondered if I could create a branch, change the config file information and then decree that the config file in the new branch is not merged.
I read about sub modules but they didn't seam relevant.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here?
Thanks,
Jez Caudle.
