Oh cool, I didn't realize git being distributed solved the communication problems that arise on an engineering team.

Back to work everyone, git is distributed version control so we don't need pull requests or gists or any kind of easy-to-read historical record that is also accessible for non-engineers.

I think the bigger point is to have a contingency plan in place so your whole engineering team isn't sitting on their thumbs with stupid grins on their faces.

If it's really that important, why not host your own gitlab or pay for a self hosted github installation?

If it's that critical then someone needs to fix the SPOF.

If only there was a way to do p2p communication that you could use to send patch files. Uhmmm.
