Is it just github? Do other repo-hosting providers support IPv6? Might be a reason to switch for some people.

- Zamiel_Snawley 4y agoI believe Gitlab does support IPv6.
- jeroenhd 4y agoGitlab seems to work just fine: $ git clone --ipv6 git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-runner.git Cloning into 'gitlab-runner'... remote: Enumerating objects: 110713, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (2223/2223), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (789/789), done. remote: Total 110713 (delta 1466), reused 2127 (delta 1394), pack-reused 108490 Receiving objects: 100% (110713/110713), 160.95 MiB | 18.37 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (63918/63918), done. GNOME's and KDE's Gitlab instances also have IPv6 support. Github laughably fails: $ git clone -6 git@github.com:gitlabhq/gitlab-runner.git Cloning into 'gitlab-runner2'... ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Gitea doesn't seem to support IPv6 either: $ git clone -6 git@gitea.com:gitea/tea.git Cloning into 'tea'... ssh: Could not resolve hostname gitea.com: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. I can't find any good public Bitbucket repository to test with, but they seem to have an IPv6 address available: $ dig +short AAAA bitbucket.com 2406:da00:ff00::12cc:b432 2406:da00:ff00::22ed:a9a3 2406:da00:ff00::12d0:47c8 Or you could self-host Gitlab/Gitea/Github Enterprise on an IPv6 capable server, I suppose.
