Git as Messages Queue

Hey, Good idea bad pitch, lets use Git as a messaging queue! lets use github to synchronize a cluster of them together. Lets get the obvious out of the way, You already know we use Git to keep track of our code changes, and we need a central point to pull and push these changes, this is why we use github/lab/bitbucket…etc. Alright, now lets introduce another idea: Git commits doesn’t need to include changes, so you don’t need to have to create files then commit these files to your git repo, you can create an empty commit with a command like this

That solution means you will also wait for all commands/queries to finish then respond with your output.
