Git files corrupt

[bbkiwi]

Hi Justin,

Two issues really. The first is that I put a .gitignore file in my-pi-projects/Adafruit_CharLCDPlate with

*.pyc
Temp*.py
.gitignore

No .pyc files have be pushed, but files TempLCDTest.py has been pushed. My idea was to be able to work on a file and not get it pushed each time I save it in WebIDE.

The second issue is I think nothing is getting pushed. I made some changes today, bitbucket says last changes 2 mins ago, but they are not there. If I run git status I get

pi@raspberrypi /usr/share/adafruit/webide/repositories/my-pi-projects/Adafruit_CharLCDPlate $ git status
error: object file .git/objects/a9/b30954916fb82c8ea08bb5c0b837fef0d27413 is empty
fatal: loose object a9b30954916fb82c8ea08bb5c0b837fef0d27413 (stored in .git/objects/a9/b30954916fb82c8ea08bb5c0b837fef0d27413) is corrupt

Thanks.

You're most likely going to have to re-clone the repository. Ensure that the code is in bitbucket (manually copy, or save off to the side, if not), and then open the terminal and delete the entire 'my-pi-projects folder. Refresh the editor, and it should be back, if not, manually clone it again.

I'm also working on an option to enable a manual git push button so that you don't need to work in temp files, and can push when you're ready.

I've added a default .gitignore for the future to hopefully prevent something like this happening. Thanks!

I've added a few features to help with this issue in the future. Better error handling, ability to refresh repositories, and directories, and manual git pushes.

Let me know if you run into this in the future. Thanks!
