Instead of "git rm" I removed files in local copy using a non-git external application. How to sync files from github again? Looks like git will download only changes from what was downloaded before and doesn't recognize files no longer exist locally.
Have tried "git reset --hard master" and "git clean -df" but still results in error when trying to "git fetch branch gh-pages" (fatal: 'branch' does not appear to be a git repository). Have verified gh-pages branch exists on github I seem to be able to be able to query the remote server for branches and use checkout to switch to the gh-pages branch but am then stuck. Speculate I need to know where local git repo exists so I might start with a clean slate, but I've found that local tracking seems to be stored not in the .git subfolder of the local repo copy but somewhere else. Am reluctant to remove my global config although I suppose that should be easy to copy and re-enter. Hoping for guidance how to recover from this dumb act, but I suppose could be useful of the local copy gets corrupted somehow also. There is very little history on this machine so can pave and re-build git if that's the easiest way (although prob least educational).
