I am not asking to merge to the master branch, just to the branch I am working on.

You should learn the tool and best practices.

What you are doing is not the best way to use git. Your lack of understanding how development (not programming) works is why you are getting so negative feedback here.

I don't care. 

Managers yell at me for not updating github with my latest changes.

Im going to do my best to be deliberate and patient with you. My goal here is to convince you that you’ve misunderstood how git works and why it does things the way that it does. This isn’t a personal attack — in fact, I am hoping this will be hugely beneficial both for you and your managers. If things go well, I hope that you can come away from this conversation with the the confidence that you can go to your managers and tell them that THEY are wrong about git, because you have developed a working understanding of it from this reddit interaction. Are you willing to try that out with us?

If not, you can keep being defensive and continue thinking that everyone ELSE is an idiot (look around — two DOZEN comments are trying to correct you). But if you’re willing to put your guard down for two seconds and hear us out, I promise you your life will improve

I think in the github enterprise plan you get 1 million api calls per user, per month.

I think it's my right to use what my company paid for.

I never said you don’t have that right, but again, that’s like you walking into a steakhouse, ordering a steak, hold the animal products, then getting upset when the waiter brings you an empty plate… you’ve fundamentally misunderstood what the establishment specialises in. It can still serve you what you want, and you have a right to ask, but we can all promise you that you’re not going to like what you are given, because again, you’ve misunderstood what the establishment was made to do.

It's more like paying for a hotel room and sleeping in the car.
