Commit Early and Often
Tue 26 June 2018 by Dr. Dirk ColbryUgh! Rookie mistake! I just spent all morning working on my website and blog. I was really happy with the improvements. I was making some modifications to the Makefile in the pelican folder to streamline my workflow when... all of my files disappeared.
Rookie Mistake #1: I unintentionally did a rm -rf * in the wrong folder and lost of of my work.
Rookie Mistake #2: I had not committed any of my changes to the repository. All was lost.
Sigh. Now I need to try to go back and remember what I did all morning.
Lessons relearned:
- Commit early and Often
- Be respectful of
rm -rf *especially when it is in aMakefile
