How to send me your project structure without any real code

[Jeehut]

Sometimes you might run into a problem with RemafoX which I can't reproduce to fix the underlying issue. In that case, the best help I could give is to investigate the issue using the DEBUG mode on my machine directly within your project. But of course, you might not want or be able to provide me with any real code. This is also not necessary to reproduce most bugs.

Instead, if you provide me with just the original structure of files and the Strings files, and the full RemafoX config file, plus steps to reproduce the issue with these files, I should be able to investigate and fix things without having to bother you too much.

The easiest way to provide me with only the structure of files but no actual contents is to copy the contents of your project to a new folder (don't run this command in your real repository!), e.g. named IssueDemo on your Desktop, open the Terminal and run this command:

find ~/Desktop/IssueDemo | xargs truncate -s 0

Please be cautious about the path provided here to the find as the contents of all files within that path will be removed. But this way, if you're fine with me seeing the names of your project files, you can keep all files within the project and send them over to me. Just don't forget to copy over and override the .remafox file and any other files you want me to see the contents of for better investigation, such as some Strings files.

After you've done this, make sure the issue is reproducible in this stripped project, too. Then you could upload the folder within the issue thread on GitHub or send it to [email protected] or create a private GitHub repo and invite me (@Jeehut), whatever you prefer.
