Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 24,526 PointsWorkspace project files crashing Atom editor and its Github Integration
From the Node.js Basics course I'm downloading the weather app from workspaces to use and play around in Atom with. The specific folder from the workspace downloads I'm using is the final one, 'Stage_4_Video_4.zip'. Link to the course: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/handling-errors-solution
As soon I open this folder up Atom becomes slow and sluggish. Atom's Github Package's 'files' symbol on the bottom right corner jumps from zero files to 117925 files and the whole thing becomes unworkable. On opening the Git section all of these files are listed under 'Unstaged Changes'.
Does anyone know what might be happening and where these files might be coming from? In the main project folder section of Atom on the left there is just the Stage_4_Video_4 folder listed, with only three files: api.json, app.js & weather.js. I've no idea where the 117925 files in git are coming from.
Even if I open the this folder up in workspaces and try to get the code by simply copying and pasting to new files in Atom the same thing happens.
I'm at a bit of a loss! Any help / guidance appreciated :)
