Working the Remote Life

So far, we’ve been making changes to our project’s files using the Web IDE. It’s good to know that we can do this interactively and commit our changes via the web interface. But there are risks involved with managing our code this way. For one thing, it is possible, although unlikely, that the GitLab site will become unavailable for some time, either because of a disruptive maintenance update or a denial-of-service attack against the site. More than likely, you may experience an outage with your Internet provider or company’s internal network. Both have happened to me several times.
