As the title says. I put the wrong value inside a clean up code and I wiped everything. I did not push any important work. I just want to cry but at least I can offer it to you.

Do not hesitate to push even if your project is in a broken state.

You guys don't use a COW (copy on write) filesystem?

Version control would be quite adequate if using a sane amount of time between pushes

I'm paranoid. I have like 5 different ways (including 3-2-1 backups) to restore everything. COW fs is great for stuff that is not a git-able project.
