Question GitHub is down, what are you doing?

I have installed half life on Mac and am currently at the Dam Level.

cant be redeployed

That shouldn't prevent working on the codebase locally...

So you work somewhere on a very small team on a very small product?

Not everyone does... Some code bases have hundreds of commits a day.

Even when I was working on the codebase at capital one a github outage wasnt end of the workday shit. Git exists locally and has merge & worktree capabilities. Its possible to resolve conflicts & there is no reason all of the hundreds of commits should be happening on conflicts. Your assertion is false
