Paulo J. MatosHi all,
I have a huge repository for a software I am developing. In it I have source code, docs, experiments, tests, etc. However, I want to push only the src/ to the github remote, nothing else. What's the best way to achieve this. Do I need to simply create a new branch and then push the new branch to github or there's anything else involved that I need to know?
Cheers,

Yes, you can do this with branches. See [1] for an example of a similar workflow.
You can also manage this with submodules [2] or subtree-merge [3].
I prefer submodules since it keeps the huge stuff (docs and bins) away from my source code and makes my source code repo much more responsive.

Thanks Phil, I will be looking at this solution then.
