Question about cloning a remote repo to web host and overwriting
I have this setup:
- a local repo
- a remote repo on azure devops where I pushed my local repo to
- a web host containing the same files as local and remote where I earlier used FileZilla to get them there.
I am trying to change my workflow from local to web host using FileZilla to using local to azure and remote repo to web host.
I have just now finally managed to clone my azure repo to my webhost, but the whole azure folder is copied into my webhost folder as /webrepo. It looks something like this:
C:/Local/myfiles
azure.com/webrepo
webhost/myfiles/webrepo
My question is: can I just for example change name of myfiles on web host to something else, then change name of the webrepo folder to myfiles and drag it back one level and everything should still work? I mean, I have in myfiles setup the repo on azure as a remote repo and I will continue to pull certain files later on. Do I remove important git files if Ill make these changes and will that harm the connection?
Also, later, how do I make it so that the specific files I wanna pull doesnt end up in a folder with the same name as the azure devops webrepo but in the myfiles folder on webhost directly?
Thanks!
