Question: Why do you recommend emptying the destination folder before running the export?

[SamErde]

I'm curious about the step on line 191 of the readme that removes all items in the target export folder:

$tenantPath = './<tenant export path>'
$tenantId = '<tenant id>'
Write-Host 'git checkout main...'
git config --global core.longpaths true #needed for Windows
git checkout main

Write-Host 'Clean git folder...'
Remove-Item $tenantPath -Force -Recurse

Is the purpose of this to start with a clean slate, or is it required to prevent issues with git?

Correct, if items are deleted in the cloud we would have left over items from the previous run being commited.

Thanks, that makes sense!
