Yes you can, but is true that it can be a little more work. But then, you can
use both, you will catch most of the problems with your local tests, and other
problems with the auto tester, and everybody is happy :)

Remeber that queueing some pull request to be tested by the auto tester doesn't
stop you from continue your work if you use local branches for different topics
you're working on.

Mmm, with "my machines" you're refering to your farm? In that case letting the
auto tester make that for you wouldn't be a huge win?

Exactly. You shouldn't even need to clone the "master" repository (the
organization's repository to follow github terms), at least not if you're
merging pull requests using the "Merge" button in the web interface.

I'd like to help you but I have to understand what you're trying to do. Do you
have also 2 github accounts? Or you have only one as the owner of the
organization? Also, are you doing any pull request merging using your local
cloned repository and then pushing the changes to the remote organization's
repository, or are you just using the "Merge" button in the web interface?
