1. Due to the failings of the electoral college system, my state was almost guarenteed to vote the same way as it has for the last 30 years
2. I did not strongly agree with either party/candidate
3. I dispise the current two party system that both major parties are incentivized to maintain
4. Voting for a third party who is incentivised to push for change via ranked voting and other methods does aid them even if they don’t win

If my state was likely to be contested, I may have voted differently. Voting for a third party in my case however had a greater impact than fighting or joining the tide of my state

I’d look into the git-maintenance’s prefetch task. From what I understand, that is more or less what you are looking for. Then just run any old http(s) server and clone them from that https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance
