This repository contains generated files and a checksum.
If you find yourself unable to import your repository due to the presence of files edited outside an instance of ServiceNow, merge commits that mix files from different revisions, or other data that does not match the checksum, you may recover using either of the following techniques:
-
Remove the problem commits:
- Clone your repository to a personal computer with the git command line tools installed and open a git command prompt in the repository root
- Run
git logand take note of the SHA1s of the problem commits - Build revert commits using
git revert SHA1repeatedly, working backward in time, for each commit that introduced changes not generated by a ServiceNow instance - Run
git push
-
Overwrite the problem code snapshot with a known good one:
- Clone your repository to a personal computer with the git command line tools installed and open a git command prompt in the repository root,
- Locate a known good code snapshot and record its SHA1. For this step,
git logcan be useful. - Run
git reset --hard SHA1to a commit that was generated by a ServiceNow instance - Run
git reset HEAD{1} - Run
git add -A - Run
git commit - Run
git push
