Can't update my wesite anymore

[fenqiling]

I tried to update the local files (publication) of my website and then push it to github, but it failed and then changed all my local files to some random files. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. I have attached my website and github repo link here. Thank you in advance!

Which branch were you on? Git doesn't change local files unless you tell it to. Can you provide more information?

I'm trying to update it on gh-page. I'm not a expert on this. Could you please help me check into this issue?

You should never touch the gh-pages branch. All the changes you make should be made on the main branch or any other branch. The gh-pages branch is automatically overwritten every time you make a change in the main branch.

I think I didn't touch the gh-pages. I just did as I did before, but it's maybe like you said. Is there solutions for this? Do I have to build the website from the scratch?

Since you are not sure of what you did, I believe the easiest solution is to start fresh. I would suggest you put aside your current project, start fresh, then compare both directories using tools like meld or winmerge.
