updating a static version of a website

Emergency resuscitation for a website which had been hacked, by setting up temporary hosting on github pages - the method I used was:

1. using webhttrack - follow only 2 levels down, -*.pdf, -*.zip, 0 external levels 

2. find and replace in files using regexxer

(a) temporary-domain.com with actualdomain.name
(b) replacing js injected code when found using inspect
(c) replacing http with https (This was done later, after https was made to work.)

For html, css and js files.
*html In regexxer, Find files, open a file, Find, then choose the All Files button at the bottom.

3. Copy paste into local github repo, ignoring / overwriting existing files.

4. git add .
git commit -m "git message"
git push
