ng github-pages:deploy deleted my project

[YonatanKra]

I've created a sample project, and then tried to upload it to github.
Instead of loading the project to github, it just deleted my local project completely - including the git commits, so there is no way back!
Any idea why this happened?
Here's the command I've used:
ng github-pages:deploy --message "First commit"

Just did that to me too, but I had the --user-page flag, as well. Everything is there, though, other than the "src" directory.

I also keep getting this error:

Error: Command failed: git push origin gh-pages:master

My bad - it was indeed a different branch. Didn't notice it checked out a branch.
