Hi, I think we have a problem … or at least I had and I’m not quite sure if this is „working as designed“ but I’m sure it „should not work as it did“. Because? It pruned a lot of files and even the local repository. by pull by giving another repository URL instead of a known remote While working in a subpath of my homedir (that is a git repository itself, without any changes in worktree or index: https://bitbucket.org/childnode/marcel/ ) I wanted to clone another repository … but yeah … it’s late for me today and I put in s.th. `git pull git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:aGroup/repository.git` next … all committed files are zapped and the repository given has been checked out in my home directory 🤯👻 what? Shouldn’t this just fail? Why can I pass another remote to pull? 🙏 god any untracked / ignored files are still alive a, yeh, I’m on a mac (for any git configuration … have a look in my repository https://bitbucket.org/childnode/marcel/src/88ff8d0c28bb90dfde3aea9e6c39bb551bea8ca8/.gitconfig?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default the console out was: ``` -bash:$ git pull git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:aGroup/repository.git Warning: Permanently added the ECDSA host key for IP address '10.1.2.3' to the list of known hosts. warning: no common commits remote: Counting objects: 2301, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (710/710), done. remote: Total 2301 (delta 1040), reused 2239 (delta 1004) Receiving objects: 100% (2301/2301), 405.41 KiB | 635.00 KiB/s, done.
