@drahardja Man, almost as if we shouldn’t have centralised all open source code at one mega location owned by a trillion-dollar corporation or something. But then again, they need the data for AI, so, swings and roundabouts, I guess.
So I usually route my work/day job #GitHub org notification emails to work emails, and associate my GH commits to the work email address (this is usually required by employer, but not always)
When I leave the job, I lose access to the work email, and the org access. And I often forgot to update the email routing back.
Questions:
What happens then? I think GH still sends notifications to the defunct work email?
If I delete work email from my GH acct, will I lose commits attributed to it?

If this is being discussed somewhere, can you point me to that conversation? Because people tend to lock the issue to prevent spams (e.g "me too", "+1") or further heated discussion, but they don't close the issue because it is still valid. It makes absolute sense to be available to either interact with the discussion via votes and emojies, or at least some sort of voting mechanism that the moderators can freate to keep collecting votes and at the same time avoid spams. @forgejo
Die Angriffe auf die Repositories bei #GitHub haben inzwischen große Ausmaße angenommen.
Angreifer forken auf GitHub Repositories und verstecken Malware im Code.
Die geforkten Projekte heißen ähnlich wie sie originalen.
Inzwischen sind es über 100.000. Microsoft hat zwar Gegenmaßnahmen aufgesetzt, die erwischen aber nicht alle.
Daher, genau hinschauen, wenn man auf Github ein Repo sucht!
How clean is your #fork? #github, the place that #microsoft gets #openSource developers to provide it free #ai training data for use by proprietary products, is being attacked by bots making millions of malicious forks (copies) of projects and adding password stealing code.
Check your sources carefully before you #git clone!
Setting up a Discourse forum early and relentlessly encouraging our users to actually use it has been one of the most worthwhile things we’ve done to build a vibrant community at @zerotier over the past few years.
I actually enjoy using https://Linear.app, much more than I had expected. It's very streamlined, very fast, has lots of keyboard shortcuts, I can hook it up to Make (née Integromat) for automation if I want. Biggest surprise: The Cycle feature, which I use for planning my dev work for the week.
It basically completely replaced #GitHub issues for my non-FOSS projects.
Good stuff. Purchased the Standard Yearly plan after two months of testing.
Mac users who write files in Markdown format: a lot of people know this already, but FYI, there's a free and very useful Quick Look plugin for the Finder that will display previews of Markdown files. It's handy when looking at folders in the Finder – just move the cursor to the file and press the space key to pop-up a formatted preview.
I think it's telling that #GitHub, #GitLab, and even #Forgejo all don't have a workflow for "renew an #OpenPGP key", i.e. extend its validity before (or after) expiry. On all of them, you have to delete and re-add the key. It's as if nobody is following OpenPGP best practices and everyone is using keys without an expiry date.
@scy Do they even bother with expiry? I distincly remember having uploaded mine there way before the last lifetime extension, and while I've run into all sorts of trouble with expired PGP keys, there were none with the forges 🤔
@chrysn Yeah, they care little about it. Sometimes it's shown at least on the page where you manage your keys, and I think I've even seen some kind of indication next to a commit that it's signed, but the key has expired. Not 100% sure though.
GitHub users: do you put screenshots in your README files (or other documentation files)? Did you discover to your dismay that the results look wrong when viewed in dark mode (or in light mode, if your default is dark mode)?
Turns out that GitHub has a feature letting you specify the use of alternative images for light and dark modes:
In case anyone else is fed up of seeing the "Code 55% faster with Github Copilot" message on Github, the following filter works a treat with uBlock Origin
Did you ever wonder who GitHub repositories add these small badges on the top, showing stars, downloads and the latest release? I looked around the internet a bit, and I think here they all come from: https://shields.io/
Years ago, I found a tool (on #GitHub?) that I could throw a #Git project at, and then it created a video from the Git history. You could see how branches and developers were added and disappeared and how it grew.
Does anyone happen to know the name?
Do you know what I mean?
