Just to clarify, GitHub hosts a very specific type of content: open source software development projects. They never offered to be a general purpose hosting provider.
From @mhagger's measured and thoughtful reply: "We understand that part of the CocoaPods workflow is that its end users (i.e., not just the people contributing to CocoaPods/Specs) fetch regularly from GitHub..."
- braythwayt 11y agoI know where you’re going with this, but GitHub deliberately blurs that line too. For example, I host both of my blogs on GitHub. I guess I’m saying that I don’t see CocoaPods as being a “bad actor” so much as the extreme tail of a distribution.
- couchand 11y agoAre you hosting your blogs as plain git repos or are you publishing static pages to GitHub Pages, the static hosting option?
