Make it easier to load/switch code on the macropad #9

When the macropad is critical to your workflow, it can be difficult to also develop for it, since breaking the code cripples you. Opening this issue to evaluate ideas to reduce friction here.

Potential ideas:

Something I've started to do is edit the project directly on the macropad, .git folder included.

I think it is the best of all worlds, and also allows you to take the project to other computers and continue the work.

I agree editing the git repository directly on the macropad is the best solution, as you can utilise the power of git to switch between branches (ie. dev and prod)

I guess hotkeys could be setup to switch branches, but then your host OS needs to be configured with those keystrokes - and it doesn't really make much sense if your going to be coding anyway, you might as well just switch branch manually.
