Ridiculous is expecting a service you're not paying for to serve files in a way that fits your use case when you've never entered into a contract that guarantee

Ridiculous is expecting a service you're not paying for to serve files in a way that fits your use case when you've never entered into a contract that guarantees the behaviour you're relying on.
You can use Git just fine without GitHub.
- ahepp 4y agoWell, I think it’s probably fair for users to expect a site advertising itself as a great web host for git to not serve stale files over web protocols. It’s kinda the entire point of the website. Maybe it’s a bit questionable to use the raw feature as a content host, but GitHub has intentionally moved pretty fair from plain old git (I believe people call this a “moat”) I’m sure there are plenty of other players competing for users that would be happy to solve the problem for free.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoSo expecting that a raw file isn't outdated is a special usecase now? And I don't see where you see that I'm not a paying user? This issue affects every repository, including ones where the user pays.
- EdwardDiego 4y agoWelp, is it in your SLA?
- 8note 4y agoThe CAP theorem certainly isn't new, and it's unreasonable to think GitHub has solved it

- throwanem 4y agoWho says I'm not paying for Github? But a Git porcelain that fails to show the version of a file it claims it's showing is a Git porcelain with a bug in it, regardless. You don't have to take my word for it! https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/46691#discussioncomment-4948308 https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/46691#discussi...
