Michelle let us know the exact command you typed on the command line, perhaps, as mwright has suggested, you may have simply redirected the output of your script to another file, however it does look as though you have redirected the output from something else to your script, and hence ovewritten it Smilie

Don't worry! When I first delved into shell scripting, I had written a 1500 word beautifully streamlined script with sed and awk statement that performed a number of functions, it took me 2 weeks - then the HP 712/60 it was on died Smilie

And along with it so did my script. But alas losing that script actually taught me a lot more as I had to write it again and picked up even more skiils as my knowledge of scripting increased!

...Just a little anecdote to show you that you have not been the first, and you wont be the last Smilie

git-sh-i18n

GIT-SH-I18N(1)							    Git Manual							    GIT-SH-I18N(1)

NAME

       git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
       wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
       systems without GNU gettext.

FUNCTIONS

       gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
	   a later version.

       eval_gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
	   i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.

GIT

       Part of the git(1) suite
