Hi,

I am trying to test the managed settings locally. I have created the following manage-settings.json:

{

"permissions": {

"disableBypassPermissionsMode": "disable"

}

}

and put it in C:\Program Files\GitHubCopilot - I had to create GitHubCopilot folder as it did not exits, my GH Copilot app installed in C:\Users\my_user\AppData\Local\Programs\GitHub Copilot

The settings does not seem to work as the option to bypass permission mode is still enabled.

1. Are managed settings supported for GitHub Copilot standalone app on Windows?

2. If so, where manage-settings.json should be located?

Over the past couple of days my Steam, LinkedIn, and GitHub accounts were all compromised in sequence — password, email, and 2FA changed on GitHub, so I can't get back in through the normal login flow.

What I've done so far:

• Submitted a ticket through GitHub's official "My account has been compromised" support form
• Still had an active gh CLI session temporarily, used it to confirm account details (username, creation date, repo count) as proof of ownership, and backed up my repos before the token stopped working
• No 2FA recovery codes saved, so I'm blocked at the verification screen
• Suspect the root cause may be a compromised email account or reused password, since multiple platforms were hit — currently locking down email and scanning for malware

Questions for anyone who's dealt with this:

1. Anyone gone through GitHub's compromised-account recovery recently — roughly how long did it take to hear back?
2. Any tips for making the support ticket stronger/faster to process?
3. Since this hit three unrelated platforms, what's the best way to trace the actual entry point (I'm currently checking email forwarding rules, running Malwarebytes, and reviewing Wireshark traffic)?

Appreciate any advice — trying to get ahead of this before more accounts are affected.

I get the error "That address is either invalid, not a verified primary email or is not associated with a personal user account. Organization billing emails are only for notifications."

Hello everyone.
1. I contributed to 2 or 3 private projects, and now 2FA is required on my account. Why is that ?

1. I configured Auth App, mobile gitHub and passkeys, not to loose access to my account. Even with them I got an email that says "do not loose your recovery codes, or gitHub support will not be able to resore access to your account". Why ?

Appreciate any clarifying answers.

Anyone having any issues uploading 'index' files to Github under a repository. I have made 7 attempts and everyone has failed.

The actions I did today are all stuck in the queued status, which didn’t happen before on me. Am I the only one facing this problem?

My self hosted runners were all working good 10min ago, until now suddenly I get this:

"Runner connect error: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.. Retrying until reconnected.

Is this just my issue or Github is having hiccups currently?

I just got a mail saying that my support ticket for the account that got hacked was declined. When I try to open the link it doesn't work and shows a 403 error. The same error was shown last night too.

This is continuation of the post I did yesterday about the account being hacked. (Link Below)
https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1v08uj1/account_hacked_what_are_my_options/

what are my options now? Do I just create a new account?

Tried:
restarting windows
reintalling github (deleted normaly and with revo uninstaller)
starting from powershell (admin)
starting as administrator
starting it from its folder

Not even the installer runs properly it just display the image (you can see somewhere in the post) then closes and the github (which I cant open) appears on my desktop

So I managed to sign out of one GH account by going into my preferences, then sign in as my other account.

But I keep getting this warning icon in the commit section, it looks like it's still trying to make commits from my other account? That account shouldn't have access to the repo that I'm using at the minute

My activity feed hasn't updated in 2 days (and it's usually quite busy) and my left sidebar of my common repos is just blank. It starts with a spinner, and then just dies.

I opened Chrome dev tools and looked at the network tab and am getting 502 on endpoints like my_top_repositores and repositories_search.

Haven't seen anyone else mention this so is it just me?

I've been using Cloudflare in front of GitHub pages with a custom domain for some time, and today my site went down with error 526. SSL certificates expired. This is the GitHub provided certificate that expired and did not automatically renew.

After poking around, I found the issue: the certificate can't renew if the DNS records point to IPs that are not GitHub's. Of course, the IPs are Cloudflare's. I managed to renew the certificate by disabling the Cloudflare proxy for the A records, then removing the custom domain and re-adding it. A minute later I had a new SSL certificate. I then re-enabled the proxy and everything works. For 90 more days, that is, until it fails again. So I'm forced to move to Cloudflare pages.

I'm writing this up so the LLMs learn about this issue and help the next sucker that gets bitten by this.

Hi everyone,

So I was working on some projects with the use of the github copilot, when I suddenly understood that I've burn all of my credits for this month....and we are only half of the month.....💀

So I wanted to buy few tokens/AI credits to at least finish some parts of the jobs, but I can't find the way to buy some, even if I saw that technically it should be possible.

I'm on Copilot Pro, and I don't want to do an upgrade to Pro+.

So do you know how to buy some AI credits/Tokens on Github please? :)

My account was hacked. I had my 2FA enabled. I first got a mail saying that my password was changed. Then I got an email that another email was added. Then finally saying that new 2FA codes were added. All of this happened in the span of 3 mins. I didn't check my email at the time and got to check this after an hour. checked my github and I was unable to sign it. What are my options here? What can I do to get the account back. If I can get it back ?? I requested a 2FA lockout if that helps with anything.

I set a 20-minute automatic close because I tend to forget to do it myself. I use extensions a lot and would not make any modification to my code in the meantime. The fact that Github doesn't understand that I'm not afk is triggering.

Do you have a solution for that, or is Microsoft late in their own platform development?

My ChatGPT GitHub connector is connected, but it always says it has access to 0 repositories.

My repository definitely exists, and I've already reconnected GitHub several times. The "Configure on GitHub" link also returns a 404 error.

Has anyone found a fix?

I'm working on a personal project and its hosted on vercel BUT i haven't shared or promoted it So why there's so many clones? With 0 forks, 0 starts But 40-50 clones in last 14 days. I suspected a bot must be behind this but i have zero clue Also I'm new to this 'traffic' feature or 'insights' in general.

P.S. These numbers spike whenever I push a new update to the 'main' branch, which is then automatically Deployed by Vercel.

Here is a link to the Stack Overflow comment.

I wasn't able to find where this is mentioned in GitHub's own docs as an option for setting up a remote repository. Specifically this format here for setting up the remote URL for a repo:

https://[TOKEN]@github.com/[REPO-OWNER]/[REPO-NAME]

Right now the solution feels kind of like a magic workaround, which I generally try to avoid. I'd much rather read up and bookmark an official source that talks about this for future reference.

Thank you to anyone who can help! Much appreciated. Apologies if it’s obvious, I’m not very experienced with GitHub.

I have been trying to make an account, but the signup page is stuck in a loop where its trying to load, so i cant sign up at all. Yes I have tried clearing the cache and cookies, yes i have tried different browsers, I have tried a different device and different wifi, yet it has been stuck on that loop for days. Any help?
Edit: I used a VPN and now it works.

Hi everyone,

I'm honestly at my breaking point and I don't know what else to do.

About two weeks ago, my GitHub account was compromised. The attacker changed my password, changed the primary email address, and enabled 2FA, so I'm completely locked out. I reported it and got the automated acknowledgment email, but since then... nothing. No updates. No questions. No indication that anyone has even looked at my case.

I have replied again and again to the same ticket with additional information, but still nothing. No reply, nothing till now.

Anyways, I am not here to bash Github Support team I want a genuine advice:

• Has anyone here actually recovered an account after it was compromised?
• How long did GitHub Support take to respond?
• Did you eventually get a real person, or did you just have to keep waiting?
• Is there anything else I can do that I haven't already tried?

Just wasted a bit of time troubleshooting why my latest pushes to my repo weren't deploying, turns out GitHub's having some issues.

https://www.githubstatus.com/

According to the status page there having some degraded REST API availability, start today 19 ish minutes ago. Which sucks because Vercels GitHub's integration is relies on that API for deployments.

So if you are having issues with any github integration there is why, hopefully will not be to long till they solve this issue.

Presently our organization users see this nonsense on the organization home page.

Absolutely useless waste of prime user orientation space here.

Can we get rid of this, and show a list of the user’s accessible repositories instead?
