There are probably better solutions, but maybe this could help you:
use org-publish (which also works when the output is LaTeX/PDF, and
not only with HTML). See https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html
You should have to define a new publishing project and declare a
directory for the PDFs derivatives, applying a value to
:publishing-directory, and configure in this directory a second git
repository, only for PDFs. The value of :publishing-function keyword
should be `org-latex-publish-to-pdf'.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
