• Update the forge repo as much as you want, preferably daily
• After finishing a feature or at the end of the week:

  • Copy and paste the files in Master project folder into your Copy project folder

    <aside> ⚠️ do not copy the .git directory over!!! you will override the git repo inside the Copy folder

    </aside>

  • Use GitHub Desktop or VS Code to sync the Copy project repository with GitHub

tl;dr — have two repos, master for forge and copy for github; update the master/forge repo ~daily, and only update the copy/github repo when you get something done (e.g., a certain feature, game functionality, an asset, terrain, etc)
