error: the following files have changes staged in the index

I'm getting this error from the command git --work-tree dist rm -r '*', would you recommend --cached or -f?

error: the following files have changes staged in the index
(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)

My guess is that it is caused by the branch having existed previously?

Btw, thanks for a great script. I use it at journster.com

Actually, I think this is caused by me running --setup after I make changes.

Ah, ok. there actually is a check for uncommitted changes, but it currently doesn't apply to setup. i'll fix that.

thanks for the kind words. i'm glad to see my little script getting around.

I had this issue as well.

I had to remove dist, do ./deploy.sh -s then add a dummy dist folder with .gitignore to gh-pages and make a commit. After that ./deploy.sh would work in master.

Basically, ./deploy.sh --setup wouldn't work if I had the untracked dist folder in master.

hi @raine. if i understand correctly, when you try to run the setup while you have a dist/ folder that's not .gitignore'd, you get an error about untracked files. this sounds like a separate issue. i'll open another issue for this.
