Is there something special about GitHub on this? This seems like a Git issue and not a GitHub issue to me; unless I'm missing something.

- lucb1e 4y agoThey don't accept pushes of repositories in that format. The article says "none of the Git hosting providers appear to be supporting SHA-256", and while GH is not mentioned by name (and I applaud them for indeed not strengthening this "git == github-the-brand" trap), I can't imagine GH was left out of scope when checking the major hosting providers.
- evil-olive 4y agoas the article says, you can create a local git repository with SHA-256 hashes today, and it should work fine...but the moment you try to push your repo up to Github, you'll hit a brick wall. Gitlab also appears to be lacking support [0], and the same with Gitea [1]. so it's a grey area where Git itself supports SHA-256-based repos, but without the major Git hosting services also supporting them, the support in core Git is somewhat useless. 0: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/794 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/794 1: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13794 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13794
