You are already using Github. Someone tells you you need to publish exactly the source code that your company's deploying. The repo containing that code is not on Github. The easiest way to get ahold of that code, with any certainty that it's exactly what's actually running, but nothing else, is to grab the archive that's sent to the production servers for deployment.

Here you are with a hammer, and a screw. You just need to get this done so you can go back to doing the dozen other things you'd hoped to get done this week. You could find some file hosting somewhere. You could unzip the file. You could do a lot of things. But here's this hammer, and here's this screw. You already have the hammer. It's free. You don't even need to walk across the room to get it, you're already holding it.

BANG, BANG, BANG. OK, good enough, next task.
