A 'team', by definition, consists of more people than 'you.'

And, by the time a '#githelp team' is formed, it's to address patterns to which there are known solutions.

One of the many problems with Git, is that these solutions depend very, very much on the structure of the repo and the common practices of its users.

So, instead of executing random commands from the Internet, just ask. Please! Or, if there's truly nobody going to be around, give in and recreate the repo. You'll save yourself so much pain in the long run...

I'm the resident git expert, but not by choice. There's more that I don't know than that I do. It's not uncommon that I need to use internet recipes to un-wedge someone's clone.

This is insane. There are a dozen other people using the remote, not to mention a whole CI/CD build configuration.
