Her heart pounded as she cloned it locally. git clone https://github.com/ElaraCrafts/GDLauncher.git . She navigated to the src/renderer/modpackHandler.js file. The issue she had been fighting?

She wrote a new function using Promise.all to parallelize the checks. It was messy. It was her first real pull request.

For two days, nothing. Then, a notification. The issue she had been fighting
She closed the default launcher. She was done.
