So in general this is a bad idea if Project 2 and Project 3 hare going
to be separate projects and you aren't planning on merging them into a
single tree. Is your company trying to do this because they are too
cheap to pay github for more than one private repository, by any
chance?
In any case, depending on what exactly you are trying to do, take a
look at the two answers here:
