"Nothing to commit, working tree clean" when there are clearly files to commit and push

[Yijia-Chen]

I was using this repo to clone an entire private repo to another private repo to wipe the commit history. All the steps till git status were successful — the hook listed all the files and folders in the root directory. However, the git status stage had the following result:

Which lead to nothing being committed and pushed. The target repository is clearly different from the source repository, and the target branch is present. Would love to get help on this.

That's strange - I will try to think of something later / tomorrow...

Could you copy-paste your configuration of the github-action?

Could you double check if you are passing any SOURCE_DIRECTORY or DESTINATION_DIRECTORY? I'm thinking if the repositories are different but you are using these variables and ending that no changes are copied because they are set somewhere that has the same contents. Regardless of this: copy-paste the configuration to see if I spot something strange.

If I don't spot anything: I will create a new branch with debugging for this issue (just some ls -l in some places). I am not at home and I might be a bit slow answering queries. If you want a bit faster you can fork and add "ls -l" in the entrypoint.sh to see if you spot something (or just wait and I'll help...).
