Github Coding Interview Advice
I have an upcoming coding interview with Github for an engineer role (More on the ops side, think SRE or DevOps / Security), any advice I can get would be very much appreciated. I got the gist that I'll be given access to a repo with a set amount of test methods as well and have 5-8 hours offline to complete it by submitting a PR. I don't have a heavy background in doing leetcode, but if you had to compare it to leetcode in terms of difficulty where would it be? How in depth might the code review be afterwards?

I did a similar interview. It was really easy stuff. Just extending some really basic python project, some unit testing and demonstrating that you have good git/github PR habits. Interview was basically just walking through. Bonus points for identifying any bugs you might have found. No algo/DS knowledge required.
