Why is GitHub asking me for a login to view a public repo link? What is this LinkedIn now?
- macintux 8mo agoThat's strange. I just tested in a private tab (Safari) and wasn't asked to log in. Hopefully this isn't some A/B testing fiendishness.
- hedora 8mo agoA while back, they started aggressively rate limiting non-logged-in users. I rarely login, because I don’t want to be a supply chain attack vector, but I guess that’s bad for someone’s promotion metrics. Anyway, don’t host documentation there, and if you do, put it on one big page. If I read two paragraphs, think, then read the next page and so on, it bans me after about 5 clicks. Them A/B testing “make it all private” would disappoint me, but not surprise me.
