@sumudu Sorry, I meant IOS.

Managed to create a new repository from a folder, populate it and publish it to Github. I still need to create a new webhook and make sure it all works, but that'll do for today. Don't want to rush things, and I have a horrid client job to plough through this afternoon.
I'm going to call that a small win.
@matigo No, much longer than that, 4-5 years I reckon. I like it, and it does work well for me. The thing I don't do enough of is going back to see how my estimates of time required work out, especially when I am busy. So then it turns more into timeboxing. But I still find it useful to avoid interruptions and distractions.
This reply, you'll note, is coming about 25 minutes after that post. And, alas, I underestimated, so no coffee yet.

If I were to write such a blog, it would sound like justification after justification for each and every decision that I've made
And in that respect, would be too much like 99.99% of all other blogs out there.

@matigo OK, you have given me the confidence to at least try a new repo and a new webhook, which I think in the end is probably the simplest solution. But not before tomorrow at the earliest.
OK, assembled geniuses of the hivemind. IHAQ:
My website is currently developed locally, as a clone of a github repo. When I want to publish something, I sync to github, and there is a webhook at the live site that pulls the changes in. Currently, the whole site is synced (with the exception of a few files that are in gitignore). This does sometimes lead to problems, when I make local changes that I do not want synched, for example debugging type things. It's a hassle, but I can deal.
However, I have been advised that a better workflow would be to sync just one folder /user and everything in it, rather than the whole site. And I don't know how to do that without losing everything else.
If I add everything else to gitignore, they'll be deleted from the production site. I can re-upload, but that seems like a bore (although I'll only have to do it once).
Is there a better solution? Could I, for example, create a new repo of just the /user folder and its contents, and sync only that? Even remove the previous repo from my local site entirely?
Would the webhook still work to pull in everything in the /user folder, or is it tied to a specific repo?
Any guidance gratefully accepted.
