    @lesley_pizza @askwpgirl Don't forget the GitHub issue number, even if the repo is private.

  • dghubble Dalton Hubble (@dghubble) reported

    @karenhchu I've had this issue before (but don't currently). I chalked it up to bad experiments or partial rollouts on GitHub's side

  • neop26 Aben Samuel (@neop26) reported

    @david_obrien @willvelida Hey D, yep the SPN is being setup with the right permission at the sub level, secrets within GitHub, but when the action runs, complains but permission. If SPN created with existing RG and then action told to run against the RG - no issues - runs fine.

  • jhutchings0 Justin Hutchings (@jhutchings0) reported

    @nonparibus @Ethan_Mick @github Not at this time. There's an issue in the Dependabot-core repo tracking the request if you want to subscribe to it

  • conarro Kyle Conarro (@conarro) reported

    @JustJake @tryfabric did this for GitHub and slack and it was awesome! But it shut down 😔

  • Cimmerian_Iter Samilop "Cimmerian" Iter (@Cimmerian_Iter) reported

    @JacekSagrell The problem again is that autoplugin actually push people to not read instructions. It's aim is to be the all in one center to download plugin except it doesn't mirror instructions too. So the average end user will just download the plugins there without knowing that the github

    “Does GitHub use GitHub to host GitHub? How did the StackOverflow developers develop StackOverflow... before StackOverflow? Is VsCode written using VsCode? Does Google use Google to debug issues at Google? 🤯” – @RahulBagal3002

  • daboross Dabo (@daboross) reported

    @ekuber Was going to mention ssh vs. and gitlab vs. GitHub (IMO explicit config of the public repo will always be better here than one developer's upstream), but I thought of one other problem: private company repos! I've worked on some that only sync to public GH for releases.

  • JosephJacks_ Joseph Jacks (JJ) 🇺🇦 (@JosephJacks_) reported

    IMO, and this is might get me in trouble with GitHub… GitHub has only made it more difficult for COSS founders — who want to sustain + grow their FOSS ecosystems — than it has to help those people…wrt data centralization/distribution of how FOSS is consumed.

  • _devalias Glenn 'devalias' Grant | Open to opportunities (@_devalias) reported

    @AlannahGuo In the past I probably would have said security/hacking stuff, but these days I’m probably more leaning towards building cool software, solving interesting problems, making things more efficient, and sharing it publicly/openly. Current ‘top of mind’ company would be @github

  • DogGeneticsLLC Liz Hare PhD (@DogGeneticsLLC) reported

    TIL that in GitHub markdown, if you’re having trouble rendering nested lists correctly, the problem could be further down in the source then it appears in the rendered version.

  • nex3 Natalie Weizenbaum (@nex3) reported

    @StatsLime @Euclaise_ there's no indication that anyone with the power to make a change has any intention of even officially registering their abstract desire to do so. if you show me an official GitHub issue that says "let's deal with this at some point when we have time" I'll shut up instantly

  • jhutchings0 Justin Hutchings (@jhutchings0) reported

    @furf @github @dependabot Dependabot doesn't implement any specific mitigations for that kind of attack. Each package registry manages malware takedowns independently. npm, for example, scans incoming packages for malware and takes it down automatically in many cases.

    Day 29 #100DaysOfCode Did a bunch of codewars problems ✅ Pushed to GitHub ✅ #100Devs class ✅ #100Devs homework ✅ JS reading & practice ✅

    @researchfemical more trans girls should b like this one girl i found who has no social media but maintains her own *** server not on github or anything she was such an inspiration i made one for myself actually

  • NazkyYT Nazky (@NazkyYT) reported

    @Cimmerian_Iter Okay i am lazy a little BUT i read github pages maybe for that i don't have a lot of problems lol anyway i understand now but there maybe a little too much hate for autoplugin is not dev problem if peoples don't read github pages i think

  • Cimmerian_Iter Samilop "Cimmerian" Iter (@Cimmerian_Iter) reported

    @NazkyYT but autoplugin doesn't use this version since it's not like it use a database to get their plugins. The autoplugin devs add them manually to the vpk So people had errors with fly cast because they preferred to use autoplugin instead of following what rinnegatamante said on github

  • chandrastwt Chandra Sekhar 🚀 (@chandrastwt) reported

    (1/100) of #100DaysOfCode 🚀 1. Solved @geeksforgeeks POTD. 2. Created 2 issue on GitHub - a library I was using on my project. 3. Some UI work on my Android project.

  • hacrods loading… HAC (he/him) (@hacrods) reported

    Should we start referring to Heroku and GitHub to Salesforce Heroku and Microsoft GitHub? These big techs companies are skillful in misleading its users, while its former versions were skillful is solving its users problems. 🧐

  • phry Lenz Weber-Tronic (@phry) reported

    * or you find a github issue in the TypeScript repo where your exact thing is being discussed

  • Masiosare Aureliano Buendia (@Masiosare) reported

    @readme @github Guys, your site is down.

  • powerappsrocks info@powerapps.rocks (@powerappsrocks) reported

    To "upvote", give the Github Issue a "thumbs up" emoji.

  • AliceICecile Alice 🌹 Cecile (@AliceICecile) reported

    @ekuber @yoshuawuyts I currently have to manually generate tags for all my crates, but this is obviously a) tedious and b) error-prone. Github Actions integration to generate tags as part of cargo publish this would be a particularly slick next step!

  • Cimmerian_Iter Samilop "Cimmerian" Iter (@Cimmerian_Iter) reported

    @NazkyYT The problem is that autoplugin is for lazy people. But it makes things worse instead and push more people to not read the github

  • Cimmerian_Iter Samilop "Cimmerian" Iter (@Cimmerian_Iter) reported

    @TheheroGAC How do you want users to put issues on GitHub when the reason of your app is for users to not use GitHub to download plugins.... They don't even know how GitHub works nor the issue tab no **** you have nothing there. Autoplugin aim is for newbies people. Not for knowledgeable guy

  • Segun_OS Ṣẹ́gun (@Segun_OS) reported

    Who else is paying for GitHub Copilot and is getting an activation error? 😡

  • Cimmerian_Iter Samilop "Cimmerian" Iter (@Cimmerian_Iter) reported

    @JacekSagrell The problem is also that it circumvent the github so people won't read the installation notice. For example today rinnegatamante released the V1 build of flycast ask wrote in his GitHub to use his kubdrige plugin. And people used what autoplugin provides. So the app crashed. And

  • theFrontrade theFrontrade (@theFrontrade) reported

    @cooldamxbone It's not the shutdown that is the problem But starting server, opening Vs code, figma app, GitHub, Postman and others
