If  you're going to use a git repository you can keep the library parts
separate from the schematic, just put statements like this in a gafrc file
in the project dir:

(source-library "${PWD}")
(component-library "${PWD}/symbols")


and a directory called ./symbols in your project directory
and who clones your repository will get it ready to use
with the right symbols.

footprints can be dealt with similarly, but the file ~/.pcb/settings
controls every pcb program you launch to look in:
lib-newlib = /home/john/xxx/xxx/footprints

You need to change that to use the local footprint directory as you use pcb.
