Why?

You've worked 8,000 million-bazillion hours on 4 cups of coffee a minute trying to fix some stupid bug. It's 2am. If it's not fixed by morning Australia will cease to be a country.

You've found it. It's in a dependency of a dependency of a dependency. You've gone one too many layers deep. Making a mirror is gonna take too much time so you just edit the code directly.

You can't commit node_modules. Your code's gonna be deleted.

Poof. Gone. Never to be seen again.

But wait.

• Wait
• Wait
• Wait

Hold up.

There's a stupid solution. An amazing, Australia-saving, stupid solution:

$ quickfix push

Quickfix will save your changes to a __quickfix__ folder, and then later you can run quickfix to update your node_modules with your 2am decisions once again.

Boom. Work saved.
