Is that better or worse than pushing a corrupt C-00000291*.sys?
Removed by mod
Better. I’m not even sure this is bad, per se. Presumably you’re sure your present repo is trash.
Why learn how to use the entire swiss army knife when you can keep it closed to use it as a very small hammer?
I always use this command as $rm -fr and read it as remove, for real
it’s for the French locale
Hey, sometimes you need to hose out the cruft.
Why yes, I do maintain a legacy application that still stores user files in Program Files in blatent violation of 15 years of Windows best practices and continues to be done contrary to my repeated advice, why do you ask?
What? Why would you need to do this? Is someone fucking with the .git directory?
People inexperienced with git can get stuck after doing some funky checkout / rebase stuff. If you don’t know your way around git so well, I guess this is the obvious solution.
I’ve been doing this yesterday. Not because Git broke, but since Intellij kept pulling invalid configs from the cache, and that was based on some kind of path identifier it seemed.
Gradle!
Fucking gradle. I do config stuff, rerun gradle error here, I fix the error rerun gradle: sth. Violation error.
Ok intellij invalidate chaches and restart… Still same error.
Fine I’ll do it again
git add. git commit -m "stuff" git push rm -rf repo git clone repoYou can probably use something like
git clean -xdfTo get rid of all the artifacts not tracked by git, in this case it’s virtually the same as deleting the repo and re-cloning it.
NOTE: Make sure everyhing is staged, otherwise that data is gone
Another one of this kind is
rm -rf node_modules && npm installWhy not
git clean -dxf?Nuke the reflog
ew french language pack gross
I guess that’s probably easier than learning how to wipe your ass.
I feel dumb: Why
git rm -rfand notrm -rf? O.ogit rm -rfis only usable within the scope of the git repository and removes files in the staging area and working directory but doesnt affect untracked files or .git.rm -rfaffects everything. For this caserm -rfprobably would be the better optionedit: did a quick edit on the meme to change it to
rm -rfsince it makes more senserm - rfis the only version that makes sense, since the only reason to delete and re-clone is to recover from an unexpected.git/state, andgit rmwon’t remove that.Thanks
Never heard of it, makes total sense, but I’d guess 95% of developers just nuke the directory raw.
That’s the joke, yes.
Crowdstrike?
No, not this time, at least
Delete container, rebuild container. Sometimes it’s just useful to clean up all the mess of cache files
