Do not hesitate to push even if your project is in a broken state.

what garbage cleanup tool gets rid of dotfiles, especially .git? if you let us know we can learn to avoid it

[-] mat@jlai.lu 2 points 3 weeks ago

shutil.remove_tree(BASE_DIR) instead of shutil.remove_tree(TEMP_DIR) inside of tear down code

On top of that, the content of .git/objects/ is write protected, so even if you go rm -r, you'll get an additional warning.
