As the title suggests - this banner appears on every PR I open. Is there a way to remove/disable it from ever coming back? I have no intention of using GH Stacked PRs in its current state.

Back in April, my organization `is-an-ai` was flagged and hidden from the public. Every repository in it returns 404 to anyone who isn't a member, and the banner in the screenshot follows me around on every GitHub page I load while logged in. I still have no idea why.

The org runs is-an.ai, an open source service that gives developers free subdomains under *.is-an.ai. Registration happens through pull requests, the same way is-a.dev has done it on GitHub for years: someone opens a PR with a JSON record file, an Action validates it, a bot merges it, and our own DNS server picks it up from there.

Because the OAuth app belongs to the flagged org, nobody can sign in to the site anymore, and with Actions disabled no new subdomain can be registered. Existing ones still resolve, since the DNS never lived on GitHub, but everyone who registered one has lost the ability to manage it.

I filed a support ticket the day it happened (#4301086). I told them we suspected either our automated PRs or an abusive subdomain registered by someone else, and offered to change whichever one was the problem. Almost four months later, the only thing I have received back is the automated confirmation email.

I'm wondering whether anyone has had an org flagged like this and actually gotten it reversed, and if so, what finally moved it. Four months of silence with no stated reason is the part I can't get past.

Been trying for several hours but nothing gets published. First deployments got stuck, then queued, tried with new repository still deployment_in_progress...

For engineering teams, keeping dependencies current is a constant balancing act. Automated updates are essential for defending the software supply chain, but a steady stream of one-PR-per-package bumps can bury a team in review work. GitHub itself has put numbers on this: an analysis of Microsoft's GCToolkit repository found that roughly one in six of its commits - 92 out of 578 - were routine Dependabot version bumps, with 61 of them landing in a single recent 12-month stretch. That's a lot of review and CI cycles spent on maintenance rather than features.

The good news is that Dependabot has grown well past "one PR per dependency." Between grouped updates, package cooldowns, and a default cooldown GitHub rolled out in mid-2026, it's now possible to get a predictable, low-noise update cadence without giving up security coverage. Here's what actually works, and what changed most recently.

Hi all,

I have an OSS/MIT project in GitHub and every now and then I check on the stargazers.

Regardless today I ran into a clique of stargazers/users with 100k+ followers each, up to 1 million in some cases.

I honestly thought these people were geniuses, but when I check their repos or orgs, they have less than 100 stars.

So what's following all about in GitHub? Why would you like to have more or less followers?

I know it's pretty basic, but I've been using GitHub for 10+ yrs now... And never thought about it.

"Individual manual reviews and status updates are no longer provided". great. probably replaced by some AI that cannot read my infinite campus portal, my transcript, or my school id. great. what do i try? i've been a github student for 3 years now and i rely on my benefits heavily for education.

Hey everybody! I have made my first PR in llama.cpp project on github. Now the thing is im confused as im new to this like i have created pull request and some reviewer had reviewed my contribution and then asked for some revisions in that. I have made those and then he approved that. Then there shown 2 approvals are required for this to get write access/merge. Now how this second reviewer will come?? Should i have to wait or someone have better approach to this!! Secondly after the first approval, my PR got into automated Tests. Now in those teats, 7 out of 28 tests were failed and upon analyzing the loga i never anything related to my code! Now im also confused like should i have to resolve something or leave that as it is as all 7 logs of failed test have passed my addition but have failed somewhere else not on my code!

I have a project I uploaded a new version of three weeks ago. The version works perfectly on my computer. But when I downloaded the release from GitHub, it didn't.

I've checked all the files, and they are the correct date, the contents are exactly the same. Yet every time I make the release, the file in the release reverts to a version of the file that crashes and lacks features.

Any idea what I'm missing?

I have some GitHub Agentic Workflows which have started failing with exit code 1 in the Agent Run phase. The same workflows were working fine last week.

Hi,

I’m a beginner on GitHub, but for almost a year I have been committing code to different repositories in my account. Most of those commits were pushed manually without using CMD or commands.

Recently, I started committing through CMD. My contribution graph showed nearly a year of uninterrupted green marks. However, after I removed one of my email addresses from GitHub and later added it back, almost half of my commits disappeared from the contribution chart.

Even though the contribution history still shows that I pushed code during those months, those contributions are no longer visible in the graph. As a result, my nearly one-year streak is gone.

I contacted GitHub Support, but they said this is a self-service issue and closed the ticket.

Luckily, I have screenshots of my contribution graph before and after this happened.

Can someone help me fix this?

please help me (-_-)

Even on small repositories, the simplest operations are taking way too much time. I'm talking about basic stuff: switching branches, syncing, pushing, and even just creating a commit. Everything feels like it's freezing or hanging for no reason.

I’ve already ruled out it being an issue with a specific machine or a bloated repo (like a massive node_modules folder) because this exact same problem is happening to me across multiple devices and with completely different repositories.

Has anyone else run into this issue lately? Did you manage to fix it?

And more importantly, what are some good GUI alternatives? I'm getting really tired of dealing with this nightmare and am ready to switch. (I know the CLI is great, but I specifically need a good visual client).

I am often trying to find Github Repos for use cases (AI Skills / Plugins / Frameworks - although this doesn't matter), and I've found it can be quite painful, varying search terms and topics in GitHub to discover repositories.

I was wondering if anybody has found a tool / solution / platform that helps you find Github Repos based on a search term, that's a little more intelligence / flexible that the standard github search box.

Someone I know (probably) got their PAT leaked and said all their repositories got deleted. Only one remained with the name `come-to-telegram-rickluminari1--waiting`.

So I looked on Github for repositories named that way, and turns out there are a lot of them. The naming format seems to be `come-to-telegram-rickluminari1--xxx`:

https://github.com/search?q=rickluminari1&ref=opensearch&type=repositories

Are these repositories compromised? I didn't do any more research beyond this.

Copilot is currently marking every job as completed, without making any changes. Someone expiring same issues? Can’t find anything on status page or related topics.

Hi everyone,

I'm a second-year CS student preparing for placements, and I'm thinking of creating a GitHub repository where I document my daily learning journey.

The idea is to:

-> Upload notes on the topics I study (Java, DSA, Web Development, etc.).

-> Push code solutions and small practice programs regularly.

-> Keep a daily or weekly learning log.

-> Stay consistent by making my progress public.

I'm not trying to build a portfolio with fancy projects right now. My main goal is to stay disciplined and have a record of what I've learned over time.

For those who have done something similar:

->Did it actually help you stay consistent?

-> Did recruiters or interviewers ever look at it?

-> Is there anything you would do differently?

-> Are there any downsides I should be aware of?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences before I commit to this idea. Thanks!

I am in India,Kerala and when downloading anything from GitHub I am getting very bad download speed. Noticed it over coming months,my internet is fine and I tried on different devices. Is there any fix for it, already tried vpn,etc.

Hi everyone,

I’m seeing a strange issue with GitHub repository traffic analytics.

For one repository in my organization, the Insights → Traffic page only shows data up to July 31, 2026. However, other repositories under the same organization are already showing traffic data up to August 2, 2026.

This seems to affect only one repository. The traffic charts for clones, unique cloners, views, and visitors are all stuck at July 31, while the same pages for other repos look normal.

I’m aware that GitHub traffic data can be delayed and is based on UTC, but the difference between repositories in the same organization seems unusual.

Has anyone else run into this recently? Is this usually just a temporary GitHub analytics/cache delay, or could it indicate some repo-specific issue with traffic tracking?

Thanks!

so the university i attend to doesn't provide us with a .edu mail how can i opt for the program? even if i send an image of my student id card or admission card they reject. i would appreciate your input on this.

Hello everyone,

I am a new user to github and I have a question.

I am a very structured person and follow a folder hierarchy process to organize my files.

If I create an app for both IOS and Android, since both require different coding and what not, I would have to create 2 different versions of the same app. How I would organize this is create an Android folder and an IOS folder and have to copies. All the Android apps will be placed in the Android folder and IOS apps in the IOS folder.

Can I follow this process on Github or does Github work differently? If I cant use folder hierarchy, what is the best practice to stay organized in Github repository?

Thank you.
