I have a repo in sync with google Drive, but I had the .git directory ignored so it is now uploaded to Google Drive.
Recently I formatted my Gentoo machine and after I had all Google Drive files synced again I realized the .git directory was not there.
Gentoo
.git
The problem is I do not remember if I had some unstagged/uncommited changes in local not pushed to github.
I have been searching but I only found answers for the opposite question (Cloning without the .git directory)
I do not want to make a git clone of my repo until I am sure that possible local changes are not going to be loss.
git clone
Is there any way of cloning only the .git folder and then push any local changes that I may have in my machine?
The one-step solution would be:
git clone --no-checkout <repo_url>
or if you already have an empty dir for it,
cd myrepo git clone --no-checkout <repo_url> .
