Before You Run Anything

  • Run `git status`, `git branch --show-current`, and `git remote -v` inside the intended repository.
  • Back up uncommitted files before rebasing, amending, resetting, or rewriting history.
  • Remove tokens, private keys, and personal paths from any output you share.

Diagnostic Or Setup Commands

Run these commands only inside the intended repository. Review `git status` before every command that changes tracked files or history.

pkg install git -y
mkdir -p ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/dedsec1121fk/DedSec.git
cd DedSec
pwd
ls

What The Commands Tell You

  • `pkg install git -y` — Installs the listed Termux packages and dependencies.
  • `git clone https://github.com/dedsec1121fk/DedSec.git` — Creates a local copy of the specified repository.
  • `pwd` — Prints the current working directory.
  • `ls` — Lists files, names, and permissions.

What Success Looks Like

  • `git status` shows the expected branch and no unresolved conflicts.
  • The configured remote points to the intended repository and authentication succeeds without exposing credentials.
  • The pushed commit contains only the files you expected.

Safe Next Steps

  1. Confirm the repository, branch, remote, and working-tree state.
  2. Use the least destructive action that addresses the exact Git message.
  3. Review the diff and staged files before committing or pushing.
  4. Verify the result on GitHub after the push completes.

Common Mistakes

  • Running Git commands one folder above or below the intended repository.
  • Using force push, reset, or history rewriting before creating a verified backup.
  • Putting access tokens directly into commands, screenshots, README files, or public logs.

Still Stuck?

Copy the support report, fill in the missing values, and include the complete terminal output. Remove passwords, tokens, private keys, exact home paths, and personal information.
