Is it OK to use `git push` to restore a remote repository? -

-

suppose have lost remote repository, because accidentally typed following command.

rm -rf ourrepo.git

in order restore it, plan use 1 of top-voted answers earlier question.

however, observed none of solutions mentions following three-step strategy.

  1. use git init --bare recreate remote repository.
  2. set new remote git remote add origin <new repository url>.
  3. use git push origin master 1 of machines has up-to-date copy of repo

i have tried on toy respository , appears work, 1 of colleagues claims there problem without being able pinpoint why.

can either confirm or deny whether reasonable way restore lost remote?

no, there shouldn't wrong proposed strategy, , in fact typical way restore remote repository (though not way).

don't forget push tags along branches:

git push origin --tags --all

that command push branches under .git/refs/heads/ , tags under .git/refs/tags/. if don't want push of branches, name each branch want push instead of using --all.

you'll want avoid using --mirror in case, because push all references under .git/refs/, include remote-tracking branches in local repo, don't need or want on remote.

alternatives

the other alternative using git push restore remote clone new remote repo --bare option:

git clone --bare <otherrepo> <newreponame>

php - Changing the visibility scope of parent methods in child classes -

-
i've got validator class , uservalidator class extends it. my validator has public method setrule(...) public visibility. when extend want change visibility of setrule(...) parent method private/protected within child it's visible child , no outsiders can call method from child. is possible? if so, how achieve it? from architectural point of view not recommended. stated in comments clean way set method protected children can access it. i cannot think of single use case put me in need call public method on parent class not allowed call on child class. that's against open/closed principle. classes should open extension, not modification. since not question i'll provide way how can achieved though. note: this method makes use of class responsible instantiation it's hack. solution not make use of php's native language features when throwing accessibility errors. first let's define classes had <?php class validator { ...
