I'm developing a small pet project on Google App Engine and i would like to keep code under source control using github; this will allow a friend of mine to checkout and modify the sources.
I just have a directory with all sources (call it PetProject) and Google App Engine development server points to that directory.
Is it correct to create a repo directly from PetProject directory or is it preferable to create a second directory mirroring the develop PetProject directory? In the latter case, anytime my friend will release something new, i need to pull fetch from Git copying the modified files to the develop PetProject directory.
If i decide to keep the repo inside the develop directory, skipping .git on Gae yaml is enough?
What are the best practices here?
