does appwrite functions need github

I read the docs and it says it requires git, does that mean I have to create a repository/branch that is reserved for my appwrite function

TL;DR

The user is asking if Appwrite functions require Github. Someone responds that you can also deploy functions through the CLI and manually without Git. The user is confused because they read the docs saying it requires Git. Solution: It is clarified that creating a repository or branch dedicated to the Appwrite function is not necessary.
