Hello there,
I am trying to make my github repo sync with huggingface space, so I can get the new changes deployed directly after a push to github.
I followed the tutorial here and setup the actions pipeline- [Managing Spaces with Github Actions](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/spaces-github-actions)
My problem is with the README.md file, I want a different README.md file for my github repo cause the README.md file inside spaces is related to configuration. I am having hardtime maintaining a single version and making sure that works for both repos. How do I effectively manage in this case?

I think the simplest thing is **.gitignore** , but this just ignores **README.md** …
It’s a little different from managing multiple repositories at the same time.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s the way to go.

You could achieve this by placing the README intended for GitHub in `.github` directory, and the one for Hugging Face Hub in the root:
> If you put your README file in your repository’s hidden `.github`, root, or `docs` directory, GitHub will recognize and automatically surface your README to repository visitors.
> If a repository contains more than one README file, then the file shown is chosen from locations in the following order: the `.github` directory, then the repository’s root directory, and finally the `docs` directory.
> **[About READMEs - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-readmes)**
>
> You can add a README file to your repository to tell other people why your project is useful, what they can do with your project, and how they can use it.
