Does Github really suck so much as a site that it does not even temporarily store edits done and has no function to save changes in-between?
What a waste of time editing when all 400 lines you get cut off and the changes are gone.

you would wonder, it could be because i still dont know github well, but as i had to work with a mate on a project over git it really f*cked up always merge problems. I hear many people say git is better than svn, but i still wonder why. also not big fan of the commit/push function.
Meh, this may just have been a venting post, but I believe that github does suck. Let’s not even start with the unorganized unergonomically clustered layout of the page.
No way around saving progress manually in an editor file while working, I guess.
Just use notepad++ when doing a large edit. A) you can save as you go along, and B) it gets rid of the input lag. When you’re done, just paste it all back into github.

You can, of course, but it is quite technically and without knowing what you are really doing you can instead lose more works while trying to retrieve something. Still it is good enough for quite a large base of people for very big projects who know what they are doing.
It’s best to download the repo to your local machine so you can have more control over your work. You need to download and install GitHub. Then you can use whatever text editor you find best suited to edit the files. When working you can use “add” command to add the changes then “commit” for committing before pushing them back to the repo. Each commit will be stored separately so you can always revert back to any of your preview commit by using “reset” or other commands for special situations.
GitHub might not be the best but it’s one of the more popular repository management services for programmers. If they can use it fine for their projects which are a lot more complex then of course it doesn’t suck as much as you put it.

Those are good suggestions.
I expected nothing less of a dog and the letter R.
Just submit it as a pull request when you want to take a break and update it later on if you plan on doing so. If your PR gets added before you get back to it just start a new one. Not hard to do.
It’s not about taking breaks. It’s about keeping progress from getting lost.
Of course I can just spam the pull request button for every few lines I do. But that’s not gonna help much.
I’ll rather go with the other ideas.
You could use google drive for the editing and then copy-paste into github.
