Installation instruction deleted all my work
ivanvanderbyl opened this issue · comments
I just tried following the installation instructions, however it deleted not only my project, but everything in the parent directory.
git checkout --orphan gh-pages && rm -rf `ls -a | grep -vE '\.gitignore|\.git|node_modules|bower_components|(^[.]{1,2}/?$)'` && git add -A && git commit -m "initial gh-pages commit"
I'm shell zsh, so maybe something in here which doesn't work as expected.
It should create a blank gh-pages branch, so it might look like it broke your current branch. Try git branch to see which ones you have and the current one.
Unfortunately it wiped my whole directly, including the .git directory, and everything in ../*
I'm thinking the grep -vE ... doesn't work as expected for some reason.
Weird, did it at least create the gh-pages branch? Commands work left to right, and that's the first command before the grep and rm.
If you figure it out, please submit a PR for other zsh users.
Well I'd like to be able to verify it, but because it deleted the .git directory there is no way to know.
😢
I hope you committed your changes first..
Luckily this repo was up to date, unfortunately in the parent directory was my EmberConf talk source code, which wasn't released yet :(.
So I figured out why this happens:
ls -a | grep -vE '\.gitignore|\.git|node_modules|bower_components|(^[.]{1,2}/?$)'
total 120

So it looks like I have ls aliased to ls -laGF for simplicity. I'd recommend exec'ing this with a bash -c
$ bash -c "ls -a | grep -vE '\.gitignore|\.git|node_modules|bower_components|(^[.]{1,2}/?$)'"

Just that portion, or the whole command?
This seems to do the job:
git checkout --orphan gh-pages && rm -rf `bash -c "ls -a | grep -vE '\.gitignore|\.git|node_modules|bower_components|(^[.]{1,2}/?$)'"` && git add -A && git commit -m "initial gh-pages commit"
