A way to cheat the git commit graph: commits can be generated at different times.

Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, it’s abundantly clear that the engineering excellence that created GitHub’s success is no longer driving it.

Most importantly, Actions has inexcusable bugs while being completely neglected. After the CEO of GitHub said to “embrace AI or get out” [...]

and one blocker is now the source of revenue:

GitHub Sponsors is a large fraction of Zig Software Foundation’s donation income, we consider it a liability. We humbly ask if you, reader, are currently donating through GitHub Sponsors, that you consider moving your recurring donation to Every.org, which is itself a non-profit organization.

Je parie que le service va se merdifier durant les prochaines années; comme déjà les PRs de Copilot.

60req/hour for unauthenticated users, that's not much!

Forks are copy of the original repository. As such, leaked credentials remains in the forks.

A deleted repository still has the commit from the original repository and it can access it. Demo on youtube

Example:

They immediately deleted the repository, but since it had been forked, I could still access the commit containing the sensitive data via a fork

Also related to private repositories:

We demonstrate how organizations open-source new tools while maintaining private internal forks, and then show how someone could access commit data from the private internal version via the public one.

How to access the data? By direct access to the commit.

If you know the commit hash you can directly access data that is not intended for you.

AND

Commit hashes can be brute forced through GitHub’s UI, particularly because the git protocol permits the use of short SHA-1 values when referencing a commit.

because there are 65.536 minimal values, and 16.777.216 is a more realistic approach (6 characters per commit).

Also, "deleting a repository or fork does not mean your commit data is actually deleted."

The flaw also exists in other version control system products.

An argument for GitHub against self-hosted source code forgery.

The main reason is I’m kind of tired of the amount of spam bots that keep signing up to my Gitea.

Creating blog articles from github issues. Not bad as an idea, but it creates a dependency between Github and your personal blog that I dislike.
