fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository
Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can't be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.
Rename it, so you can run diff on those surprising things that in no way could have changed, but are not equal to the repository. And then delete.
Or keep the X-old; X-backup; X-bkp; X-old-old; X-old3 dirs.
I think git clean is more appropriate. With git stash you create a stash which you then have to drop.
Of course you don't have to, but if you don't plan on ever using it then it's just trash living in your git folder. If you do plan on using it again in the future, then it's usually better to make it a branch so you can push it to a remote.
i chuckled at the thought of 'git poop' being a command. I'm going to alias that to something.
git restore is a pretty new command AFAIK. Those of us who learned git before its existence have probably stuck to the old ways of git reset --hard.
