If you haven't signed up for the preview of the new GitHub code search you're missing out - I use it every day now, being able to execute complex searches (including regular expression matches!) against every line of code on GitHub is absurdly useful cs.github.comSimon Willison (@simonw)Mon, 28 Mar 2022 04:51 +0000

I have noticed what seems like an almost generational divide in people who contribute to open source. Those who did open source before 2015, and those who think GitHub = OpenSource. 🙃Aeva ✈ ShmooCon! ✨ (@aevavoom)Wed, 23 Mar 2022 14:58 GMT

Often OSS developers make the world keep the lights on but aren't compensated for their time. Marak was struggling, asked help. Got nothing. In protest, removed his code and github suspended his account for removing something he owned the rights to.Sam (@metruzanca)Fri, 07 Jan 2022 01:07 GMT

Pull requests predate Github though.

It's more that a Pull Request is a GitHub specific name for something in use in Git (https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull) for kernel development and other projects for some time

Huh! When did that happen? Today I learned that GitHub supports light/dark mode images with within markdown. ``` ![Logo](./dark.png#gh-dark-mode-only) ![Logo](./light.png#gh-light-mode-only) ``` Video alt: Example showing a markdown image adapting to user preferences.Stefan Judis (@stefanjudis)Tue, 30 Nov 2021 20:13 GMT

Has anything recently changed with the way that #GitHub archives work? Finding a tonne of #ArchLinux #AUR packages needing chnages otherwise they won't build, as they're getting 404s?

Not a great leading indicator when the person in charge of the hostile product decision gets promoted to lead up the whole dev division, including GitHub. One of the worst parts of devrel is when management decides to ring the register and sell off the earned developer trust.Post details
The recent open source moves by Microsoft are interesting. On one hand, I love the power of a vocal community; on the other, I hate to see community/devrel teams left to clean up after a bonehead decision from an executive who is clearly disconnected from the reality of the work.

GitHub isn't Open Source, and it's acquisition by Microsoft was not proof of their commitment to Open Source as a movement. There are other things that indicate a meaningful change in respect of the movement. ASOP is an "Open Source Project" in name and software license only.Matthew S.

So with the recent discovery that GitHub Actions create an OIDC identity per run, it's possible to configure Vault to allow auth w/ Actions identities and subsequently use that to get access to... anything. Some cleanup required but this is very promising! (c/o @grantorchard)Mitchell Hashimoto (@mitchellh)Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:02 +0000

It is... curious to see GitHub listed as a type of #OpenSource software in the State of Open UK Phase 2 report. Yes, git is OSS, but GitHub very much is not.julia ferraioli (@juliaferraioli)Fri, 09 Jul 2021 20:42 +0000

In case it's not clear what's happening here: @github's Copilot "autocompletes" the fast inverse square root implementation from Quake III — which is GPL2+ code. It then autocompletes a BSD2 license comment (with the wrong copyright holder). This is fine.Post details
I don't want to say anything but that's not the right license Mr Copilot.
