Hello, Sorry for my ignorance. I did not think it out. I figured using another internal tool would be cool. I enjoy this list and learn a lot on here, like today. Thanks for all the hard work. @tech is cool too. I don't know much C but it's neat to look at the patches. I remember git has lfs too. I have never used git like that though. Any of you folks used the git lfs? I can't donate like before. Lot's of medical stuff going on right now.
