Re: How to maintain private/secret/confidential branch.

I don't know how to make such a scenario work:
- two repositories: pub, priv
- priv is clone/branch of pub
- there is some constant developement both in pub and priv
- there are regular syncs with pub in priv

Problem:
Occasionally I want to push some changes from priv to pub.
Then after syncing with pub I want to get as few conflicts as possible.

Is it possible to do with git?

Git can do almost anything. One should instead ask "How to do this
with git?" :-)

If I understand your problem, you could solve it with git cherry-pick
and rebase. On priv, make a for-public branch from a pub branch. Then
cherry-pick the commits you want from your private branch into the
for-public branch. Push your for-public branch to pub, then rebase
your private branch.
