Resolving the MacVG Update Issue with a maintenance break

4/1/2024

Today was a really bad day because GitHub Desktop couldn't handle updating the huge game site, making MacVG unavailable. The April update for MacVG was pretty big, so I copied the entire folder to the remote repository. But GitHub Desktop took forever to update and push it, causing the remote to disconnect multiple times. I had deleted all the files beforehand, so the game site was completely empty.

I tried a lot of solutions, and nothing worked until I realized that GitHub Desktop only pushes the changed files each time. So, I divided the MacVG folder into smaller sections and uploaded each section one by one. It took a long time, but I gradually uploaded 30 games at a time, then 40, then 50, repeating until all the games and other files were uploaded to the remote repository.

That's how we fixed this huge MacVG issue in just 2 hours. Let's go!
