Is it possible to have one git repository for different folders?

Question

I have the following folders on my computer:

/home/user/git/eclipse-project

/home/user/eagle/eagle-project

The Eclipse Project and the Eagle Project belong to the same task and I have one remote git repository at my university where i shall upload the code. How is it possible to upload the code to the university-git like

/university-git/eclipse-project

/university-git/eagle-project

without changing the folder structure on my computer (eagle needs the files where they are, and i do not want to move the eclipse project into my eagle workspace)

Yes, i could, but actually i dont really want any mixing of the two folders on my computer... — JHnet, May 22 '13 at 10:10
Still, it's by far the easiest way. Create the folders in the Git repository, and create links where you want them. — krlmlr, May 22 '13 at 10:36

As far i understood that you just need to create:

either different branches on same git repository or
create different remote repositories.

Then you can merge changes from one branch/repository to another then you can clone from any branch in any local folder.(make sense ?)

Regarding creation of branches/repositories and merging please follow below links:

http://gitref.org/branching/

http://git-scm.com/book/ch2-5.html

Note: Handling via remote repositories is quite difficult for beginners but you can try out :)
