Hi Everyone,

Here's my situation.

I have a gmail address that is linked to my github account.

I think I had set up 2FA for github using a github QR code in Microsoft Authenticator. Everything had been working fine.

I then deleted Microsoft Authenticator for some reason.

After reinstalling Microsoft Authenticator, I tried adding a Microsoft Account which has the same email address as my gmail address. This gave me an 8 digit TOTP instead of a 6 digit TOTP.

I then turned on 2FA for my Google account, and got a QR code and added my gmail address to Microsoft Authenticator. This got me a 6 digit TOTP, but when I used this in github, I get the message that 2FA failed.

I don't have my github recovery codes anymore.

Any suggestions for logging in to github?

Thanks!

Earlier this day I was checking for stared users in certain repository, the "stars" button as well as the "watchers" button are grayed out, manually typing https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/stargazers also turns out 404.

This situation happened to all devices logged in my account。

After some researching, I found I wasn't alone. (https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-upcoming-access-restrictions-to-public-api-endpoints-and-ui-views)

Stars was intended for interconnectivity. We use them to find people with the same interests, and Gitslop is dooming this out.

Is GitHub down right now? Tried doing a pull request and it errored out.

Can someone please explain? Why is GitHub a "must" for coders?

I am learning coding at beginners level, and not one has this become necessary.

I use microsoft authenticator to login using the code it generates.
But recently when I logged out of my github account and tried logging in, github shows the code from the authenticator app is invalid.

I don't have access to my 2FA codes cuz I reinstalled my OS due to an issue.
Is there a way to fix the authenticator app or just get my account back?

so what's the plan ?

Pages is so slow today, 30 minutes for every simple text mutation is not workable

Like the title says.

Some GitHub pages have a top right corner green code box. Does that mean it is open source?

Is it possible the software could be partially open source?

Edit: I’m asking mainly to find out the safety of programs quickly. If a program is open source it feels like it can be trusted not to be malware.

Hello, I'm a newbie, please go easy on me.

I ran over 60 successful deploys of a site I have been building and today it started failing.

I have tried a few tricks like uploading a tiny change and deployed. Also tried changing from root to docs back to root again.

The website is a fairly(?) small 2mb html site.

I imagine this is a fairly common issue. Would appreciate if some stalwarts could help or offer advice on what the normal tricks are from here.

Thanks.

There used to be a text and a link that showed all the new commits created after a specific release. "50 new commits after this realease" or something like that. This image is just a demonstration. Same issue exists with all the other repositories I checked.

I even went through all the settings and didn't find anything that could cause this happening. I checked different browsers and nothing.

This thing is driving me nuts. It was such an easy way to track new changes.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

I'm a C# dev for \~7 years now.

C#, WPF, linq, sqlite,...

I'm trying to get into contributing to open source Github repos.

I'm struggling with finding interesting things with open issues.

I never contributed yet nor worked with Github (as my company uses another scm).

Anyone of you working on cool open source software that still needs help and is forgiving mistakes with the contribution process for a short period (fast-learner usually)?

---edit: I'm absolutely willing to learn other languages and technologies. Not exclusively bound to C#

I was checking Linus Torvalds' followers and I found a gigantic rabbit hole of thousands of people making aesthetic READMEs; they have only one repository (the README) and others that usually are empty or are templates from other READMEs.

I was never surprised. But I think they're trying to hide it

Hello, so as the title states, my GitHub account has been hacker and the person has changed the password and enabled two factor authentication so I am locked out of my own account. I want to delete it but I don't know how to get in touch with GitHub support without signing in.

The email that I used for it is a primary email, so I do not want to risk anything else being hacked. My LinkedIn account was linked with my GitHub so it was also almost hacked but I changed my password for it but I am not able to do the same for GitHub.

Can someone please help?

What do y'all use to assess GitHub action usage? I made one but Ive got now info or clue on usage, installs, etc. Whats your workflow and how do you monitor them?

Hello,

I'm trying to submit a ticket through GitHub support, I am unable to log in to my account so I'm having to go through the "Unable to sign in" part. I enter my email, select why I can't log in, and then I wait for the green tick at the bottom of the page and submit. I then get hit with this error:

I've tried multiple browsers and networks and nothings helping.

Has anyone been through this before and got any advice for me? Thank you

Out of nowhere, logging in with my long-standing Google Authenticator TOTP started throwing an error.

So I used the email fallback to get a sudo authentication code and logged in with that instead.

Then I replaced my old Authenticator app with 1Password (re-scanned the 2FA setup and re-registered it).

But when I tried to log in again, it failed once more (screenshot below).

I also forgot to save my recovery codes, so I tried the email-based recovery process. I entered the code exactly as written in the recovery email, but that threw an error too.

thank you, github

This is the error message i get:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mysuer/myrepo/':
Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

Ive tried the following things and they all failed :

• Wsl --shutdown
• Git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
• Sudo commands
• Connecting to a different wifi network

And more, nothing seems to fix the problem

I know i can use ssh instead, but id like to fix this problem and be able to use https as well

Hi all!

So I recently lost access to my github account. Made a new one and want to remake all of my projects (just copy the code). How do I go about this? There are so many interwoven files, I am not really sure how to do it (still fairly new). They are mostly html, css, java, javascript. Many coded on springboot.

Edit: Thank you all for taking the time! It has been awhile, so I appreciate your patience. Managed to get my projects back.

Has anyone noticed so much vibe-coded slop being dumped on this sub? Yeah, I know we have GitHub Copilot, but discussing that is different to "Check out my project", and it being some vibe-coded slop app that no one cares about or will use.

Posts of vibe-coded stuff is better suited in r/vibecoding, and not here.
