I can connect all my projects in work and home and i can code everywhere the services and tools i found in GitHub is a great help for everyone who works on IT
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)
I am writing this just as an attempted contributer not as a coder. I created an account to report bugs and make feature requests and suggestions. Everything appeared normal until I noticed in my peripheral some message on account flagged or something. I checked what my submissions were when logged out and they do not appear. My profile is a 404 page. They shadowbanned me with no explanation. When you go to support they expect you to do 2FA to even talk to anyone which I knew would be wasting my time having dealt with Microsoft support before. I made another account thinking maybe it was the email I used they didnt like so I made an Outlook account to sign up with. Things seemed okay at first I posted what I wrote before with word changes but one I did not change enough because there was a link present explaining something better and second account became shadow banned then I found the account was fully suspended, then the Outlook account also became locked soon after claiming I am a malicious bad actor. I looked into things and they also ban users based on the country IP which doesn't apply in my case but it is a blatantly racist hidden policy imposing US government propagandic authority over users treating them like dangerous criminals and wipe their code from existence. Also I should remind people GitHub takes users code to train AI with. Such poor operation is not all compatible with FOSS practices since not everyone can contribute because if not fitting their limited expectations on email provder, browser used and use of any links to explain anything. Please host your projects anywhere else.
Tor-hostile; forced execution of non-free software; access granted or denied based on national origin; copious ethical issues

Thorough for code management
Dirtiest sh** of all! Sad when 90% of all open source projects globally count on it! Ban times just quickly people who wanted to justify their work, although with insults, yes... Nevertheless only wanted to justify your work! Or would you chill, if your PRs, in which you invested time and efforts, are closed without comment, your work is thus destroyed? Probably not...
Not even starting from the punishment system! One can still log in as a spam-marked person, manage one's own settings, open issues and PRs, comment and create repositories... But none of that is publicly viewable anymore! Try it, and one will see that a 404 Not Found error comes up! Applies to existing repositories, issues and PRs too!!!
Really cool system
recently, i'm thinking github becoming githut (git hunter)...
