You are the IT specialist in your department and you’ve been noticing some strange files show up on your machine but nothing shows up on Git.
You suspect that someone has been tampering with your files and want to investigate what’s going on and identify what’s causing the files from disappearing.
You should have a set of files available in your local repository. Use your file explorer or terminal to explore the files and all sub-folders.
[!NOTE]
Leave.git/,.github/,README.md,post-download.sh, andsubmit.shalone! They are not a part of this problem set.
Use tools like git status -u to find the files that are missing from Git but are still found on your local repository.
