Which task needs GitHub, not just Git?
- AOpening a pull request, which is a GitHub feature layered on the Git repo
- BCreating a branch and committing to it without any network connection
- CMerging one branch into another and resolving the conflicts it raises
- DTagging a release commit and then listing every tag in the repository
Why this is the answer
Pull requests, issues, Actions and branch protection are GitHub features built on top of a hosted Git repository — Git itself has no concept of them. Branching, committing, merging, conflict resolution and tagging are all plain Git and work with no account and no network at all.
