Was your account suspended, deleted or shadowbanned for no reason? Read this.

292 Upvotes

We're getting a lot of posts from people saying that their accounts have been suspended, deleted or shadowbanned. We're sorry that happened to you, but the only thing you can do is to contact GitHub support and wait for them to reply. It seems those waits can be long - like weeks.

While you're waiting, feel free to add the details of your case in a comment on this post. Will it help? No. But some people feel better if they've shared their problems with a group of strangers and having the pointless details all gathered together in this thread will be better than dealing with a dozen new posts every couple of days.

Any other posts on this topic will be deleted. If you see one that the moderators haven't deleted, please let us know.

Tool / Resource best drop-in replacement runners github actions? PR builds keep sitting in queue and the bill is kinda stupid

• Upvotes

team of about 15 devs, docker heavy monorepo. we've been on github hosted runners forever and it was fine until recently. now PR builds sit in queue 5-10 min at peak and the bill is kinda stupid for what we get

tried ARC on our k8s cluster for a few weeks. cheaper yeah but i was babysitting the autoscaling and DinD builds were slower than hosted lol. not doing that again

so now looking at the managed ones. blacksmith, depot, namespace and avrea keep getting thrown around, also runs-on since it lives in your own aws. dont wanna rewrite our workflows, ideally i just change the runs-on line and be done

what are you all running instead? anyone using one of these on a docker heavy repo?

Discussion I want to make my repositories public for showcasing them on my CV, but I do not want to allow editions.

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I've been making my projects during university and making private repositories with all the code.

Right now, I'm making my first CV and I want to provide links to show my projects, but I don't know if I should set anything first in order to keep my repositories secured.

Basically, I want to enable downloads and views of the repositories, but not allow editions except for the current added collaborators.

What should I do?

If you have been pushing hundreds of PRs every day with coding agents and finishing your GitHub Actions quota, I built this CI cost simulator for you.

Discussion How to handle PRs on low priority issues?

12 Upvotes

I could use some advice on how to handle PRs solving my low priority GitHub issues. My project is getting a fair bit of attention these days as people use LLMs to design mechanical objects in Python with it. I'm seeing many PRs on issues I've created over the years that aren't the most urgent thing for me to address at this point; however, I don't like PRs accumulating so I interrupt what I'm doing and look at them. Often the fixes are good but not always as one would expect. Today I was about to generate another low priority issue that came up while fixing something else and I stopped to think about what was likely to happen: a few days or a week from now a PR would come in to solve this issue so I'm effectively interrupting myself.

How do you cope with these type of non-urgent issues? As far as I know there is no such thing as a private GitHub issue so posting "notes" to myself doesn't work in the current environment. Does assigning an owner to an issue work - i.e. is the ownership respected? Do you keep a list of such issues local and not post them to GitHub? Thanks in advance.

Question In pr filter, "commenter:xyz" doesn't seem to work properly

1 Upvotes

Hi, a second question regarding issue/pr filtering: when I enter "commenter:xyz" in the pr search filter, the results do not not quite correct, leaving out issues where xyz did in fact comment.

I thought it was an update issue and after a while it would settle but constantly gives incorrect results even days later (after respective comment).

I only noticed this on PRs ("is:pr" in search bar) but may as well also happen on issues..

Has anyone any information on this?

Thanks in advance!

Question In issue filter, "author:" dropdown, @Me is not there anymore

1 Upvotes

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask.

Up until a month ago or so, there was a "◌ Me (logged in user)" in the dropdown when e.g. "author:" has been typed which allowed to search, in that case, for issues authored by me. I found that quite useful and used it often. Now it's gone and I wonder why.. has anyone any information about that?

Note, you still can type "author:@me" and it works, but it's gone from the dropdown.

Tried googling and also searching here in the sub fbut to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion I was invited to participate in a GitHub Star Boosting site

0 Upvotes

Someone create an issue for my project that was an invitation to join a "developer community" site. It looks like its purpose is for likeminded developers to star each others' repos. It seems a bit dodgy to me. Is this a commonplace occurrence? What is the general consensus about this?

Been using Projects to track a small game jam team and the columns keep rearranging themselves after every refresh. We set a specific order during planning, then the next morning backlog is between inprogress and review for no obvious reason. Tried locking layout and it just resets anyway.

Question How to make part of my closed source repository an open source one?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone hope you have a lovely day.

so I'm currently working on a game engine I'm developing and I was working on a renderer based on opengl, I'm proud of the progress that I have done so far and I want my opengl renderer to be open source for the whole community.

I thought about making my repo a template repo but I wonder if there is another options available.

Thanks for your time appreciate your time!
