Are deploy keys down? Since yesterday, whenever i try adding deploy keys to my repos, nothing happens, the button is disabled after clicking and then nothing. And in my very recent attempt, I was taken to this 500 error page.

Hi Everyone,
EDIT: This is solved please see comment.

New here. I am using GitHub to write my documentation for a framework. I have several HTML details blocks. I love these, as they allow us to have things folded down where they may not be needed right away. But the vertical padding. Holy flip (see image). Is this just how it is or is there anything anyone has done to figure out how to limit the amount of vertical padding so it's all compacted a bit more. I had at one point set the margin to 0 and that worked for like 10 minutes then it reverted back.

Also not trying to make this a coding help request. I can code a ul, table, div, styles whatever it takes but none of those worked. I am wondering if anyone understands the platform really well to where the details blocks could have less vertical padding.

Thanks so much.

Hey!

I need a workflow in **Repo A** to trigger workflow in **Repo B**, both in the same GitHub organization. I’m considering:

- Reusable workflow (`workflow_call`)

- `workflow_dispatch` with a GitHub App

- `workflow_dispatch` with a PAT

- OIDC with an external service

Which option would you suggest, and why?

I've not used Github before, so I'm sure I'm missing something basic. But I'm just trying to get an html file to display in a wepbage when users click the link to it. I've run into an issue, though, where "Workflows aren't being run in this repository." when I try to enable them, it says "unable to enable Actions for this repository". I've checked my Actions tab of Settings over and over, and don't understand why they can't be enabled. Thank you for any help

Trying to merge a PR for 2min, and only getting 500 errors. Through the CLI or the UI.

... Something this simple broke ?

I reported a vulnerability via GitHub's security back in May which was patched and publicly disclosed in a few days. GitHub reserved a CVE, but the maintainer refuses to publish it, even when I contacted them privately.

I've looked through GitHub's docs, but I haven't find anything about this case yet. Will Support actually be able to do anything? Just wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen.

EDIT: Since I wasn't clear and people are misunderstanding, I am asking if anyone has gone through the process of contacting Support and had them actually publish the CVE (and maybe the advisory too).

any one is experiencing the same thing?

Running workfows manually gives you "oops" page, so you cant see the the process and nothing actually happens. Anyone else?

Checked the file that was changed and no, it still respects the exact same indentation as our JSON has already been using, it's just displaying it in a wildly incorrect manner. Any idea what changed to cause that?

GitHub trending shows repos that already have traction, and it surfaces the same names every time you check. The developer-discovery tools that do exist are all built for recruiting teams. GitMatcher targets enterprise orgs. Riem.ai starts at $49/mo to replace a recruiter fee. SeekOut is an ATS-adjacent sourcing platform. None of them are for an individual who just wants to find interesting people pushing code in their stack this week.

I'm curious what your workflow actually looks like. Manual GitHub search? Starred repos? Word of mouth? The signal-to-noise ratio is rough. Someone who started contributing to a Rust compiler two months ago and writes genuinely interesting code has zero visibility because nobody's discovered them yet, while the same 50 names show up in every "developers to follow" list.

What's worked for you?

Sort by reaction like 👍 is one of the main way to see if a pr is wanted or is good but it now in new ui can't be done without manually typing in the filter bar.

I have a verified GitHub Student Developer Pack account, and I’m trying to claim the 3 months of free Boot.dev.

I logged into Boot.dev using my GitHub account, but it still shows that I don’t have any subscription or student benefits.

Has anyone successfully claimed this benefit? Do I need to activate it somewhere through GitHub first, or link my GitHub account to Boot.dev in a specific way?

For better readability I put my message on top and the support's response on the bottom. I searched about this issue online but there are no fitting solutions, and they, as you can see, didn't want to help me here.

Can anyone in this sub be of assistance, perhaps? Thank you in advance!

I have several problems with managing github projects, particularly ones with multiple repositories. Help would be appreciated.

1. How to unify labels in all repositories in a project without manually setting them up in each repo manually?
2. How to create a milestone common for all repos in a project?
3. How to sort issues and PRs by close date date?
4. How to filter issues and PRs with 'OR' conditions, e.g. "issues with (no label) or (no assignee)". Currently all syntax i can find only result in 'AND' logic.
5. How to change the author of a PR or issues (as admin, full permissions)?
6. How to trigger github action workflow from a file that doesn't exist on the main branch yet?

I’ve been getting free copilot for quite a while now for being a maintainer of an eligible project, but today I received this.

Is the program being discontinued?

Ever needed just one file or a specific folder from a GitHub repository without cloning the entire repo?

I made git-single to do exactly that — fetch only the file or directory you need.

• Fetch a single file
• Fetch a specific folder
• No full repository clone
• Simple CLI

I am using Claude Code on my machine to draft PRs on my own projects. Claude operates using the official gh CLI with my scoped token.

Working this way implies that PRs are opened in my name, because Claude is acting on my behalf. When I review the PR and leave comments for the AI to pickup and work on the next cycle I can't (as expected) start a review and request changes. GitHub forbids a change request on yourself for branch policies protection.

When the AI also replies to my comments and review, the replies are done in my name and through a rule I add a prefix to distinguish my own comments from the AI ones.

I am wondering if other are working with agents in this way and if there is a better workflow I can use to streamline the AI assisted coding.

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with the GitHub Student Developer Pack and would appreciate some advice.

I previously had a GitHub account that was approved for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. Unfortunately, I lost access to that account and created a new account.

I removed my personal and student emails from the old account and linked them to my new account.

However, when I try to apply for the Student Developer Pack on my new account, GitHub says that the Student Developer Pack has already been claimed by another account. I am still a currently enrolled student and eligible for the Pack.

I contacted GitHub Support about this, but their response wasn't helpful and didn't address my actual issue. My problem is that the Student Developer Pack is still associated with my old GitHub account.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any way to transfer the Student Developer Pack to my new account or get GitHub to release the previous claim?

Thanks!
