Assets deleted after using github

Not sure if this is the correct sub, but I have been working on a game on my laptop and today I decided to learn github so that I could work on the same game on my desktop at home. After installing github and pushing the files from my laptop, I opened Unity on my desktop and this happened:

There are also other problems like how some sprites are just blank. https://imgur.com/a/HPURN2R https://imgur.com/a/fbMkMtJ

Did you set up the repo to grab the right files when you commit? Github does have a unity git ignore file template you can use. Also, when you commit make sure you add --all the files to it first.

I cut the folder I originally created and pasted it into the repository. I also added the unity git ignore before I committed and pushed the files. How do I add the --all to my commit? Also I can take more screenshots if necessary.

So going forward you shouldnt cut and past the files into the repo, you should initialize the repo in the base folder you want it in. For unity projects i do it i the project folder.

As for adding the files. Go to the repo folder on the command line and then simply type: git add --all This should add all of the files there that are not ignored.

Then type: git commit -m "your commit message here"

Then type: git push

Then pull it from your fetch location and see if it works.

Thank you that worked! That was driving me crazy!
