My file system looks something like this: ~ =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 org =E2=94=82 =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 todo.org =E2=94=82 =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 reading.org =E2=94=82 =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 personal.org =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 research =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project1 =E2=94=82 =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project1.org =E2=94=82 =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project1_reference.pdf =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project2 =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project2.org =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 data2 =E2=94=82 =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 data2A.csv =E2=94=82 =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 data2B.csv =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 project2_reference.pdf When I open a new project, it gets its own folder, containing supporting documents, code, data, as well as an org file to manage todos and timelines. This doesn't seem to work well with org: most tutorials assume that all your planning files are found in one directory (e.g., ~/org). I wonder if it would be possible to maintain a global git repository containing my entire directory tree, but only the org files; and have all of these org files incorporated into (and new ones automatically detected by) the agenda. At the same time, I need to maintain individual git repositories for each project directory. Does anyone here have experience with such a system? Or other advice on how to keep many scattered org files in a single git repo and also captured in the org agenda? Thanks for your patience, Tyler --=20 http://plantarum.ca
