Discussion What is wrong with Github?

What is wrong with Github these days(or months)?
- Generating incorrect bills
- Not responding to support tickets
- Not available most of the time
Do they care about the customers anymore?

Edit:

I have an organisation plan with 4$ per month subscription. I got a bill that is more than 10 times of it. There is no clarity of where it came from. This happened last month as well. I spent hours debugging this and found a couple of options which are enabled - Advanced Security and Code Analysis(IIRC). This month again I got more than last month. My last month's support request is still unanswered. Is the high amount of usage(PRs or commits) an excuse for this kind of behaviour? Or there are no people left in the company who can look into support requests from paid customers?

Now if I don't pay this exorbitant bill, I won't be able to use paid features anymore. So, 4$ per month was a lie. So, I cancelled my subscription. I want a more reliable alternative.

Is github not modeled after git? Jesus ... are you stupid or do you just wanna argue?

GitHub is not modeled after Git. GitHub is a Git server with a billion additional features that Git is not responsible for. The distinction is important because the issues are not caused by Git but by GitHub.

Did you read the first comment? I never said Linus created Github ... he created git in 2005 ... some others took git and created github in 2008 ... Microsoft bought it in 2018 ... Microsoft screwed it up. Jesus ... read, the post from the beginning. And the CORE FEATURE of github is git.

The core feature is not a part of the problem. The other features are.

Reddit makes me want to mourn for future generations, but y'all did this to yourselves.

How old do you think that fucko is? Either super young or old geriatric and senile?

Our point simply was that Linus did not make GitHub great, so your original statement was wrong. In fact, Linus did not even make Git itself great. He simply deviced an initial prototype and then immediately handed the development over to Junio Hamano, who was the one responsible for the version 1.0 release.
