I'm doing a solo coding project for work. It's a tool that you interact with similar to npm or cargo, where you can create a new workspace, run / test etc. Importantly, you have to be in the working directory for the commands to work...

Yesterday I decided to go home early to do remote work at home. Before i left i quickly did git add ., committed and pushed.

Can't you ssh into your work computer?

In my 20 year career, I’ve never had a single position where I could ssh into my work machine from a remote location.

I would say that if you have been able to do that, it’s exceptionally rare, and there are a number of security red flags of your organization is allowing that.
