Somehow in frustration of many work things I typed rm -rf *
in my current project directory. Fortunately everything important was still in the the local git repo. Thanks git.

@samdphillips Indeed, there are limits to the human ability to avoid mistakes. Someone once told me he typed rm -rf
, intending to add a directory name … when the phone rang … he picked up the phone receiver … and dropped it … onto the ENTER key. That was a bad day. Funny in retrospect, though.
