If you ever happen to have 5000 uncommitted files, you shouldn't be asking yourself if you should commit more often. You should be asking yourself how many new repos you should be making.

The person didn’t have any git repository; probably a new programmer that didn’t know how version control works and just clicked discard without understanding what that means in this situation.

This person is why we have that meme where devs would rather struggle for a week than spend a few hours reading the documentation.

Just curious, git doesn't touch untracked files though?

[-] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

'git reset' won't. 'git clean', on the other hand, most certainly does. Even then you have to --force it by default, to prevent an accidental clean.

Thanks, didn't know!

git clean does. Turns out VSCode did a clean with that GUI option at that time, not sure of current behaviour.

This is without gitignore, so probably just installed one js dependency

Monorepos are a thing. But obviously this is something entirely different.
