I found a script that almost takes care of a bit of clunkiness in git. I say almost, because when I use it, after it does what it's supposed to do, it breaks my shell, or something. After I use it, I can't use wildcards any more. I tried to run `jshint *.js` as I do a million times a day, but it says it can't find any such files. `ls` does the same thing. I can do `ls` by itself, and everything is there, but `ls *.js` or `ls *` just says the files aren't there. I tried googling, but to tell the truth, I don't have a clear idea of what to google for. "bash script breaks ls" didn't turn up anything useful. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?
The offender seems to be set -f. This option tells the shell to disable expansion of wildcards. Putting set +f at the end of the function should solve the problem.
set -f turns off the wildcard globbing, and the effect is global. (Putting it in a function is a bit misleading.)
I see hardly a need for it in the function because most $variables are in quotes that also disables globbing.
So delete it or disable it with
and harden this line
Thank you guys so much! When I first saw the problem, I didn't associate it with the script. I thought my file system was corrupted. I almost reinstalled the os on my machine. Thanks again.
P.S. It works great, but of course you knew it would.
