I forked a repository on github (https://github.com/VimEz/ShowMarks -> https://github.com/mikeage/ShowMarks) and pushed two changes. For some reason, when I browse the latest commit (or the master branch) via the github web UI, it seems to be totally empty, though a fresh clone of the repo shows that there are, in fact, all the files present.

I’m a bit of a git newbie, and have absolutely no idea what could have happened here.

    I think your latest checkin of .gitignore has rules which are too broad and this is causing GitHub to ignore all your files when listing them.

    Take a look at the files for your first commit via the Browse Code link: https://github.com/mikeage/ShowMarks/tree/9dbc5f02730725a6992eec8bf86fea257cec858c

    Then take a look at the files for your second commit via the Browse Code link:
    https://github.com/mikeage/ShowMarks/tree/5aea9c7879072001dc01d707734a252c3efbf297

    You will see that your second commit changed the listing substantially.

    To fix this, I’d suggest narrowing down your .gitignore so that it only contains:

    *.swo
    *.swp
    tags
    

    By the way, I wrote a blog post about .gitignore files if you want to do further reading about it: http://www.luisdelarosa.com/2011/05/16/what-to-put-in-your-gitignore/
