I'm very new to git. And I was doing a git pull from a remote server. First, let me explain my situation.
I have two folders that I've set app and app.my. Both of this folders are within myApps folders.
I use app to clone my remote repository and is used for testing and production only. Whereas, the app.my I want to use pull for developing the current app. Because I feel that committing would be easier, according to what I understand, that is.
Kindly take note, I use private keys to access my repository, and have added it to my
~/.bash_profile. So, nothing is wrong there, I'm positive. I think.
In my terminal, I'm inside my app.my folder. When I use git pull userID@url,it successfully pulls my files. But instead of pulling all those files into my app.my folder, it pulls all the files to my myAppsfolder. I tried deleting those files LOCALLY, and redo-ing git pull. Naturally, it says everything is fine. When I enter git status it showed all my files are DELETED.
So, I tried git reset --hard All those files were restored, but into the myApps folder instead of the app.my folder.
Then I tried moving the files LOCALLY, and again entered git status to see what happens.
It says my files are deleted. But I understand that there is something wrong with the path that is set.
How do I make the files to be placed in my apps.my folder instead of the parent folder, myApps?
Well for me it looks like you have cloned the repository initialy into myApps some day. Just check out where your .git folder is located.
