I do a lot of experiments with the code in git and they often take time. During this time I cant push or pull any code since I can’t commit any of these experimental changes. I was wondering if I can make a duplicate in my local and detach or from git and restore my other folder to main so that I can pull and push code easily and experiment on my other code.

I have two repositories, A and B. Repository B has a build-time dependency on Repository A (specifically, it uses a Dockerfile base image from Repository A). While it’s not mandatory for users of Repository B to immediately consume updates from Repository A, I want to automatically notify them about new releases in Repository A through GitHub pull requests. Should I implement this as a dependent bot or as a cron job in Repository B? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
