TIL : Never change and push code directly on GitHub site

Never ever do this even if its as mundane and harmless as a few changes in the README.

Your customers will suffer because they are not as aware of the code as you are and they follow README much more diligently than you do.

Another lesson learnt is that never ever do it on master branch. Also create a sub branch and work on it. Keep your most recent working code in master. This is another mistake I made while I preach the same to others I did not practice it myself.

The above cost me hours of fixing and a lot of client disgruntlement.
