It shouldn&#x27;t really have much effect. One of git&#x27;s major selling points is that it&#x27;s a DVCS, meaning that everyone has a local copy of the repository. Perhaps some collaboration features will be down for a couple of hours (which I think is a downside to GitHub&#x27;s decision not to put issues&#x2F;PR history inside of git), but everyone should still be able to do work, commit to the repo, review history, and so forth. If you have people who do code, they can probably find something to work on for two hours without having the Issues&#x2F;PR interface, right?
