Do you really need to update the CI, or are you just trying to keep
the 3 machines in sync?

If you don't need to update the CI, would it be possible to have a
local repository that you update, and then push to the main repository
when ready?  (you can have multiple remotes for a repository).

Cheers,
Alistair
