I’m doing a solo coding project for work. It’s a tool that you interact with similar to npm or cargo, where you can create a new workspace, run / test etc. Importantly, you have to be in the working directory for the commands to work…
Yesterday I decided to go home early to do remote work at home. Before i left i quickly did git add ., committed and pushed. I turned on my computer this morning, ran git pull, and noticed that… only some files got pushed, but more importantly none of the code i wrote yesterday made it through. Yup, I was still cd’d into my workspace folder and not at the project root, so I only committed the mock workspace folder 😄
Luckily i didnt write or change much this time, but lesson learned: git add -A or git commit -am '...'
This is what i should be doing :)
I have been justifying it away though cause it’s early stages of the project so it’s hard to get my bearings. But the dust is starting to settle enough now that I can probably think about committing units of work rather than this daily snapshotting ive been doing
