Amazing website, I always come here If I have trouble figuring out how to code something, can always find an example that some one else has done
Github used to be good. Now it's bad, because owned by M$. Open Source like Gitlab is better for our privacy and more respectful of our data.
Maybe its ok now, but one day, with another MS CEO this would be weak point of open-source world. I think its time to switch now, gitlab, gitbucket, gitea, ... whatever. Just for more promising future of open software.
M$?
@Justman10000 M$ = Microsoft (This reply is a year old, I know)
Where all my projects live. Pull requests, issues and Actions cover most of my workflow in one place. Free private repos made it the default choice for me.
GitHub is home for all my projects. I push my code here every day and it connects straight to my deployments.
A very capable and powerful product, but over the last few months I have measured an increasing rate of errors from GitHub actions. I am experiencing an api failure causing a build to fail every day, small numbers but irritating and they are increasing.
GitHub is where nearly every open source project lives, which makes it essential regardless of whether you use it for your own work. The pull request workflow, Issues, and Actions (CI/CD) are well-designed and have gotten meaningfully better over the past few years.
GitHub Actions replaced several third-party tools for me — automated deployments, test runs, and build pipelines all in one place with no separate service to configure.
The free tier covers unlimited public and private repos with Actions minutes included. For solo developers and small teams, you rarely need to pay.
The web editor (github.dev) and Codespaces are solid additions for quick edits and cloud-based development without local setup.
Banned account out of nowhere for a ToS breach I didn’t commit. Fully suspended without notice or explanation. Contacting support requires a SMS, so entering a phone number, ofc voip numbers are banned. Once done, I appealed and got what seems like an automated response saying
"GitHub is meant to be used as a collaborating and hosting tool for software developers. We're unable to see activity on your account that indicates that it's being used for the intended purpose. For this reason we will not be removing the restrictions from this account at this time."
Heh, basically no human looked at this because I clearly had code projects with other devs…
My supposition: they’re hostile to VPNs and mail forwarding services like addy. Or maybe my fingerprinting resistance prevented them from selling my data so they banned me?
