That's a dirty trick, I'm not sure how to feel about this. I don't like being hoodwinked.


Hi author here,

I must say I made the basic git clone on Marcan's repository (named like this) without changing the default name.

Then I just put my additions next to and into it.

This did not look bad to me. Otherwise I would have done it differently.

I made the two ls commands to show all files and avoid any confusion.


Oh the humanity!

Obviously the only reason they even wrote a shell script in the first place was so that they could name a repo after it, so that it would have the side effect of making a directory of the same name, so that they could enact their plan to trick you into...something.

Really dude?
