Ask HN: How do you handle OSS project with private artifacts?

Hi, I don t have a long history as OSS builder but I m now focusing on a project which is keeping me busy and I want to maintain it in the long term.The problem I m facing is that I have the OSS part (code, public docs, etc) but also some private assets (private docs primarily, my personal notes, AI iterations, etc) which I don t want to push publicly. At the same time I don t want to keep the private stuff local only as they are valuable assets and they might get lost, so gitignore is not a solution.So I am now maintaining 2 repos, one private and one public, I push to private then with a script I copy over (public) assets into the public one. But this is a lot of overhead and it s giving me headaches for many reasons.Have you ever faced this before? What could be a smooth solution?Cheers

private public want assets project long
