Recommendet approach for proper versioning with Git:
- Checkout the repo into a folder of your choice
- Download the source code of the dev-branch as zip file and install it on Joomla
- Remove the installed component folders within your Joomla installation
- administrator/components/com_joomgallery
- components/com_joomgallery
- media/com_joomgallery
- plugins/finder/joomgallerycategories
- plugins/finder/joomgalleryimages
- plugins/privacy/joomgalleryimages
- plugins/webservices/joomgallery
- Create symbolic links from those folders to the corresponding folders within the checked out copy of your component
- Remove the installed component language files within your Joomla installation
- administrator/language/en-GB/com_joomgallery.ini
- administrator/language/en-GB/com_joomgallery.exif.ini
- administrator/language/en-GB/com_joomgallery.iptc.ini
- administrator/language/en-GB/com_joomgallery.sys.ini
- language/en-GB/com_joomgallery.ini
- Create symbolic links from those files to the corresponding files within the checked out copy of your component
- The referenced copy of your component can be properly versioned using Git
