  People who want to start contributing to open source: - Pick an Org based on your interest - Fork the repository - Clone it - Do the local setup - Read README and contributing .md - Pick an issue - Create a new branch - Fix the issue - Write tests (if necessary) - Test it - Add, Commit & Push the code - Go to GitHub & raise that PR That's pretty much it. Start small and learn as you go.

  @github this is the kind of tiny primitive that makes agent workflows less brittle. attaching the repro artifact directly to the issue beats handing an agent a local path nobody else can open.

  @Da7_Tech @devindesktop Don't know if there's one left - but I'd use it to continue making contributions to open source software and fixing bugs/issues that were raised on Github as well as making my own open source software

  @smalldocs_org recently crossed 200 stars on GitHub and 20 forks. SmallDocs is the first open source project I've managed. Handling other people's pull requests is not easy (and I need to improve). They implement features you're not considering and fix bugs you didn't know you had. Extremely useful, but if you're squeezed for time and trying to develop core functionality, it's hard to manage both things well.

  @rfleury @X Are you open for suggestions or even simple problem reporting about the UI of raddbg? Where is it ideal? On Github?

  GitHub just shipped an agent whose entire job is deciding when a human should look. It checks every open pull request every 15 minutes, and on almost all of them it does nothing. Sit with how strange that is. For a year the whole pitch for coding agents was do the work, review my code, ship the PR. This one's value is the inverse. It runs constantly and stays quiet, and the product is the small set of PRs it decides are actually worth your time. That is the shift people are missing. Once an agent can act continuously, the scarce resource stops being how much it can do. It becomes how much of that is worth a human's attention. An agent that pings you on every pull request is just faster noise. One that surfaces the three that genuinely need judgment is leverage. The honest problem is the deciding. Tune the filter too eager and it cries wolf until you mute it. Too cautious and it silently ships the one change you needed to catch. Getting when to interrupt a human right is harder than getting the work right, and nobody has a clean metric for it yet. So here is the bet. The next moat in agent products is not a smarter model. It is a better sense of when to stay quiet. If you are building with agents, the thing worth obsessing over is not how much work they can generate. It is how well they protect the one budget that does not scale: your attention.

  🔥 Trending on GitHub: Ponytail Ponytail helps Claude Code avoid writing code that does not need to exist. That means less clutter, fewer unnecessary dependencies, and simpler changes to maintain. Before custom code, it checks whether the feature is needed and whether the codebase, platform, standard library, or an existing dependency already solves it. It also reviews work, audits implementation complexity, and tracks unnecessary token use without dropping validation, error handling, security, or accessibility requirements. In reported Claude Code sessions on a FastAPI and React repository, Ponytail used about 54% less code, 20% less cost, and 27% less time than the no-skill baseline. Those measurements came from 12 feature tasks, so results vary with the work. Full analysis in the first reply ↓

  Damn, GitHub has gone to ****. Features that have been cornerstones of solo devs and small businesses have been gutted or broken for months. How the mighty have fallen…

  nine stages, one build, one move tonight. it's a Claude Code skill i built. free, in my freeskills repo. it's called Claude Orientation. you type /claude-orientation and answer two questions: which stages you've actually finished, and every project you're currently thinking about. beginners don't fail from lack of ideas. they fail from having five and finishing none. that's a sequencing problem, and this fixes the sequence instead of your willpower. - places you on a 9-stage beginner arc: install, memory, website, landing page, skills, game, agents, content, distribution - your stage is the first one you haven't finished, so it won't let you skip - cuts your project list to one build, then shrinks it until it can ship in five 90-minute nights - writes five nights of one-line moves, and night 5 is always send it to a real person - hands you the exact text to paste into Claude tonight - sketches a 30-day arc, one line per week, so you know what comes after - everything that got cut goes in a parking lot, so nothing feels lost - saves all of it to a roadmap file you reopen every session so you finish one live thing this week instead of holding four half-built folders forever. open the file, do the move, rewrite the next line before you close the laptop. no setup. copy the folder into your skills directory, restart, and you have a plan for tonight. free, and it stays free. 👉 github repo in the replies

  Gave an AI agent a month and GitHub access. Wanted to see if it could make money. The plan was simple. Point it at bounty-labeled issues, let it write the fix, submit the pull request, collect the payout. > Day 1 12 PRs submitted. 0 merged. 2 rejected. 8 just sat there ignored. Somewhere in that first week it also passed its own tests for a file that didn't exist. Wrote 25 tests for notification_service.py. The real file in that branch was called NotificationRoutingMiddleware. Confidently reported clean anyway. > Day 30 Looked completely different. 84 PRs submitted, 59 merged, $500-800 earned. Ran the agent for about $45 in API calls that whole month. Net somewhere around $455-755. Here's the part that stuck with me. Out of those 59 merges, 3 repos accounted for 90%+ of them. Every other repo it touched, zero merges, despite 30+ PRs going out across dozens of projects. Open source bounties follow a power law. Almost nobody merges your first PR. A few maintainers will merge your tenth without even reviewing it closely. That's what actually fixed the acceptance rate, from 24% up to around 70%. Not a smarter model, a scoring function that runs before the agent touches anything. Repos where it already has 10+ merged PRs score +40. Zero competing PRs on the same issue, +20. Five or more competitors already in, -20, skip it. Repos that closed PRs without merging before, instant -100, not even worth reading the issue. The fastest way to build the credibility that makes this work isn't code at all. Documentation translations sit at a 95% merge rate, barely reviewed, always needed somewhere. A handful of clean translations got the agent enough trust that maintainers started assigning it harder issues directly, no competition, no review queue. Spam version of this, submitting to every repo with a bounty label, burned through 30+ repos for 3 that ever paid out. Worse, it reads like exactly what it is to a maintainer watching the same account flood a dozen projects with mediocre PRs. Paid out by the hour, week 1 was rough, close to $5/hour, mostly setup and failed attempts. By week 3-4, once the scoring system was tuned and a few repos trusted it on sight, that climbed to $30-50/hour on the same kind of work. Bookmark this, scoring logic is worth stealing.

  @egavrilenko11 @bot I had to update my fine grain token for GitHub and now when it tries to authenticate the plugin, I'm getting the error: GitHub didn't provide a sign-in link My bot said: Known host bug, not you. The GitHub Authenticate button tries OAuth GitHub does not support. Checking whether a PAT on the plugin page is the working path. That's a Grok Bot host bug, still open: cursor/plugins#251. GitHub's connector is PAT-only. The Authenticate button tries OAuth GitHub does not support, so you get "didn't provide a sign-in link." Don't keep hitting it. But it worked before I updated my fine grain token...

  Devs, what's your workflow? Create an issue first, then fix it OR just fix the bug and push directly to GitHub?

  @theo If GitHub is down does it fall back to a cached version I’m guessing?

  BelNet Android v1.4.1 now has a public shipping checkpoint. GitHub evidence: released Sep 1 verified commit d23f155 four downloadable assets Android API level 36 revamped design latency and performance fixes that is more meaningful than a repository “updated” label. a tag identifies the version. artifacts give users something to install. but “fixed latency issues” still needs a measurement surface: median connection time p95 latency packet loss failure rate region and device breakdown release notes tell us what changed. benchmarks tell us how much it changed. BelNet shipped. now let the numbers login. @BeldexCoin #Beldex #BelNet
