# WordPress, GIT, Renamed Plugin Dir + files – oops!

 * This post might not belong here, but I didn’t see anything covering this topic
   when I searched, so here goes…
 * I’ve been working on a custom plugin, and I’m getting close to being finished
   with it. I’ve been keeping a repo on Github to track my changes. I don’t know
   what I did, but somehow I managed to cause my code to stop working in my local
   repo. I tried `git reset --hard HEAD~1` (as I didn’t make note of the commit 
   hash prior). That didn’t help because i am somehow misplacing the commit that
   WAS working.
 * This isn’t the first time i’ve messed up using Github. I want to say “what is
   the point, if your code gets messed up!” (calm down, Geoffrey!).
 * I know I can DIFF at Github, but how would I go about that if, E.g. I changed
   the directory name of a plugin? and need to see code from files in directories
   with different names, from different commits?

 * NVM. My mistake: the code was not broken. Sorry about that. This is resolved.
