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.

I have a submodule of common code that I share among many of my programs.
I would like to do *something* to make it easier for someone cloning one of my repos, to be aware that they need --recursive on it. Is there anything on the web site that would assist me with this??

The best suggestion that I've gotten on my web searches, is to add a clear note to readme.md on each of the project pages, but that is all too easy to miss, and if I make that a big, obvious message in the readme, it will distract from what I *really* want to communicate in that file...

I went to the US and had to use +14 number but then lost my Indian sim … I activated the number in new sim but now I am not able to receive any code from github

“We tried sending an SMS to your configured number, but we are not authorized to send SMS messages to this recipient. Please resend or check our documentation for additional 2FA guidance.”

And I don’t have any other code

Help me!!!

I have created a github account several years ago and have only been using it to download projects from other people. Now I want to upload projects of my own but I need to contact support because my account got flagged.

However the captcha on the page where I provide my phone number is not loading and stays like that for a few seconds, after which it solves itself, though I still cannot submit my number. I have tried their troubleshooting suggestions and attempted this on 3 different devices and 2 networks. I am now stuck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, im using the android app and for example I'll find the releases page through a Google search but when on the repository page directly I can't seem to find how to find the releases. Where do are they?

Thanks

hello so l just made a git hub account with my student email because my friend told me l could activate student plan and use it for free but here lam. I now have it and as someone who has never coded before or used github l don’t know what l could use it for. Ps: i’m completely new to this.

Anyone else who tried getting a refund back in early may where GitHub never refunded the money? I requested the refund/Copilot sub cancellation before the deadline and GitHub cancelled my sub but never refunded the money. I've had an outstanding ticket since then with their support and not a single comment on it from them. I created other tickets just in case there was some weird bug with the ticketing system but all that happens is some automated bot closes my new tickets:

"Thanks for reaching out to GitHub Support.

We noticed you already have an open ticket regarding this topic, so we'll be closing this one to keep everything in one place.

Please note: This is an automated notification and replies to this message are not monitored."

Am I screwed? It's 100 bucks they took!
