Best Practices
Best Practices
- Always backup before deleting - Create a backup branch or copy
- Use git rm for tracked folders - Preserves history
- Check symlink targets before deleting - May need to update references
- Update .gitignore first - Prevents accidental re-tracking
- Test after consolidation - Ensure nothing broke
- Commit in logical chunks - Separate migration from cleanup
- Document the changes - Future maintainers will thank you
