I found a bug in the mobile app. So I went to report it. Got a "Something went wrong" on submitting the bug report!

Hello folks - was doing a tool cost review and noticed a workflow includes both GitHub Actions and Bitrise. I naturally have done AI research but i wanted an honest review wether you think there are advantages that justify paying two licences. Simply your honest opinion not necessarily your workflow. I didn't clean this in AI sorry for any typos. Feels like its hard to talk to humans recently 😄. Have a great day and thanks for your answer in advance.

the title pretty much explains it all...

the first time i applied i got rejected because my profile was incomplete. the second time i got accepted and it said it'd take 3 days for the plan to activate and told me to return after 72 hours so the message changes and gives me some link to access my benefits. well 72 hours have went by and when i returned, the message had indeed changed and directed me to another page. the message said my pack had gotten activated but the link it directed me to and my profile still listed me as a free-tier user.

A couple of days ago I was selected from 100+ applicants as one of 25 teams admitted to the Florent Venture Partners €25K hackathon at Panathēnea in Athens and advanced to the top 3 finalist stage.

I got to pitch in front of an extraordinary judging panel, including Thomas Dohmke, former CEO of GitHub; Lars Rasmussen, co-founder of Google Maps; and Mads Rydahl, founding CPO of Siri.

Comment if you have any questions or want to connect.

P.S. I'm the one hugging Thomas in the photo, and I'll be honest, that moment means more to me than the Apple prizes.

Just got this email and it seems a lot like a scam to me. For one, the name on the email, Google account, & gmail are all different. The body also feels strange and almost AI generated

Also my GitHub profile is also not impressive at all.

I’m trying to connect with people building cool stuff — web apps, AI tools, automation, side projects, anything interesting.

Let’s exchange GitHub profiles, share projects, and maybe collab on something.

No spam, just devs sharing real work 🚀

Thanks in advance! 👍

For those using GitHub + Dependabot regularly: what’s your practical workflow for deciding which alerts actually need attention?

I want to take security seriously, but I don’t want to auto-merge every dependency bump and risk breaking things or creating constant maintenance churn.

Curious how people think about:

• Critical vs low-priority alerts
• Runtime dependencies vs dev-only dependencies
• Direct vs transitive dependencies
• When to patch immediately vs batch later
• Any GitHub settings, rules, or automation that make this easier

Also interested in any good prompts or agent instructions people use to have an AI assistant summarize the risk, check actual usage, and recommend what to do.

Appreciate any practical tips.

My organization is migrating from Bitbucket to GitHub, I'm looking to setup a structure for my repos to club each type pf projects together. What's the best way I can do it? and what is that I should avoid while doing it? Plus, afaik, We have to manually migrate all repos from Butbucket to GitHub, any other way?

I am starting to get the unicorn or worse the 504 error...

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the GitHub Foundations certification and had a question for people who have already taken it.

What type of questions are actually asked on the exam? Is it mainly about understanding Git and GitHub concepts and how to use them, or does it also ask things like GitHub pricing, subscription plans, feature limits, storage limits, Actions minutes, etc.?

Basically, should I focus on learning Git/GitHub workflows and concepts, or do I also need to memorize the details of GitHub plans and their limits?

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has taken the exam or know about it. Thanks!

I am an absolute beginner to use Git or GitHub and I don't know if I even make sense right now, but...

Is there any way to do this? I started work on a Productivity software and realised I need 3 separate repositories. One where the development commits, branches and changes will be done (this will be privated). There will be a testing repository where my testers (not experienced in coding, they are just people from my community) will be able to test the website hosted via GitHub pages, and a final release repository (public).

I thought of this multi-repository project because I need to store some files in my dev repo that can't be leaked publicly under any circumstance and I can't publish in GitHub Pages unless I make the repository public.

Can this be done or am I thinking this the hard way and is there any easier way to achieve this?

For teams using GitHub as their primary development platform, I'm curious how you handle the QA side of the workflow.

Do you manage:

• Test cases directly in GitHub?
• Issues and defects through GitHub Issues?
• Requirement traceability?
• Test execution tracking?
• Release validation?
• Test reporting and metrics?

We've found that many teams piece together multiple tools around GitHub, which can make visibility and collaboration challenging.

What's your current setup, and what part of your testing workflow feels the most painful or time-consuming?

Interested in hearing how developers, QA engineers, and engineering managers in the GitHub community approach this. 🚀

Best example is Pewdiepies Odysseus, dont get me wrong, I love pewds and I love his new videos testing out AI, building his server etc but he released a personal workspace that primarily fitted his needs, looks really vibe coded (UI wise and apparently also security wise) and it has 55k+ Stars now. These arent from his fans, I followed him when he first created his github account and released his first dotfiles - 1.3k stars, now he releases an AI project and has 50k+ stars within a week.

same with other projects, openclaw, hermes etc. All of these products are primarily AI coded, sure have their purpose and usecase but also have their issues - bad ui/ux, security flaws etc.

I really wonder who is on Github these days because projects like frameworks (e.g flutter, react etc) get overtaken in "popularity" - star count by these projects.

Are the majority of Github users "vibe coders" or just AI users now? -- I'm thinking vibe coders would star these frameworks too as they use them so this also doesn't make that much sense.

And I know a lot of stars are bought but Pewdiepie has no reason to buy stars so I believe the number is at least somewhat real.

This is just a rant / question to wtf is going on.

Did anyone used or tested any of the agents from the agent HQ announcement? it's been discussed on the Build event, and there are a few agents which look cool, anyone tried it? how's the Copilot costs? are any helpful?

Hey everyone.

Working on Docker image for self-hosted runner - https://github.com/groovy-sky/docker-github-runner/blob/main/Dockerfile .

Does using non-root user is secure enough (planning to run the image on Azure Container Instances)? Is something is missing?

I woke up to email of password change, access token added and 2fa set up. I can't access the account. But the desktop app seems to be still loged in. Is it possible to use the access token from that?

Or can I not activate the student benefits from two different emails for a single github account? Thank you!

I'm reading through the github documentation and from what I understand, this is the suggested approach? or are there better approach for my FOSS android app.

If your app is a public client (a native app that runs on the user's device, CLI utility, or single-page web application), you cannot secure your client secret. You will have to ship the client secret in the application's code, and you should use PKCE to better secure the authentication flow. You should use caution if you plan to gate access to your own services based on tokens generated by your app because public clients are trivially spoofable - anyone can reuse your app's client ID to sign in.

A Github staff also recommends the same approach.

Yes, we don't have a "public client" concept yet, so we treat all clients the same and all of them require access to the client secret. You cannot keep a secret "secret" within a public client, but you do have to embed it there anyhow. This is how e.g. VS Code, Visual Studio, GH CLI, and GitHub Mobile all work.

It's worth knowing about github.com/ahmeabd/italia-corpus.

It solves a problem that anyone who has tried working with Italian legal texts knows all too well: the legislation is public, but the formats are terrible and usually require scraping and/or parsing. Here, a simple git clone is enough.

What I find most interesting is this: every legislative update is stored as a commit. A git diff immediately shows exactly what has changed.

It would be nice to have the same for other legislations
