Re: [gentoo-user] Layman and Git branch

I have a profile for my config , additional ebuilds , packages etc but
i'm looking for the best way to have a production-profile and a
devel-profile.

Better have two separeted git , one for production and one for devel ?
or better one git and use branch functions ?

With Layman and two git repo i can sync each repo when i want and i can
enable/disable one of them to switch from/to production/devel .


I don't know how to do that directly with git.

Best regards
Marco
