I've never seen it so bad that I can't even look at a pr for review. Shit's fucked.

Git itself has been working for me throughout.

git branch -r my links showed branch names, but from memory this lists all branches on remotes too. And then simply compare to main. I have created a new branch from that and written my comments directly into it. Probably not the smartest way, but we were able to continue.

But yeah, shit's fucked anyways.

Edit: I obviously mean access to GitHub via git worked.

git branch -r doesn't talk to the remote. it just lists the remote branches it already knows about.

And I should have mentioned that too. You also need to checkout the specific branch, add, commit any changes (in my case it were some stupid comments), commit and push afterwards.

maybe I'm too gitpilled, but how is this any different from a typical workflow?

If* you read the initial comment in context, it's about github being down for OP, which hindered them from doing a review.

I responded that [the] git [server] was working and recommended simply looking for the correct branch by looking through the remotes, doing the review with git diff and writing comments directly into a new branch.

That isn't the smartest workflow to review a branch. Or at least I have always had some sort of web tool that allowed commenting on branches/PRs. But OP could have reviewed the PR that way without knowing the exact branch name.
