GitHub implements the PSHB subscription API. It's fine, but doesn't really fit in well with the rest of our JSON API. For instance, parameters are sent over as form encoded values like "hub.mode". http://dev

You don't need a valid email to commit to your repositories, but you do need one to use GitHub notifications. This feature makes it possible to use the web editor with a fake email address instead of your notifications email address.

The preferred URL is the one in the browser address bar: " https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}" . Works great for pushing and pulling.

Nope. If you were trying to submit it tomorrow, it'd be rejected though.

We encourage all GitHub apps to use proper caching on their end. There's no good reason that a hit on a 3rd party site like Gitrep should relate to one or more GitHub API calls. Use HTTP conditional GETs to retrieve data, and any 304's (c

That was also a troll/spam bot that had no affiliation to Travis CI. Their GitHub integration has always been classy.

We got a lot of angry feedback about the whitespace bot that was roaming GitHub for a while. We tried to sit back and let people deal with it themselves (e.g. send feedback/patches to the bot owner). We're not opposed to bots or services.

We have GitHub Services: https://github.com/github/github-services . Anyone can submit one. We'll probably accept it as long as the code is decent, is tested and documented, and is for a stable service. If you're running some custom bui

A repository named 'mojombo/fakkkkkke', with commits from another user account. Just a standard test repository, nothing amazing. Turns out the user was a family member.

Also, it'd be super awesome if you could report this stuff to us too. Email support@github.com or tweet something mentioning "@github". HN cred is amazing, but so is GitHub cred :) https://help.github.com/articles/responsible-disclosure-o

Nope. Just confirmed with mojombo that it's legit. He's just showing GitHub off to family :)

Gaug.es uses Mongo. Its data model is pretty simple (just counters), but he has blogged about the approach in detail. MongoDB Counters: http://railstips.org/blog/archives/2011/06/28/counters-every... http://railstips.org/blog/archives/2

I love nanoc too, and use it for the GitHub API docs: https://github.com/github/developer.github.com . The fact that it can use ERB templates removes it as a candidate for GitHub Pages, unfortunately. I have a fun rake task to push stati

Product documentation (wikis) is a very important part of building software. GitHub Pages sure aren't, but they're viewed internally as an addon. There's very little mention of it in the UI.

Using any branch will balloon the size of the repository. It's much better to use something like S3.

by technoweenie 14y ago
Sorry about that. We'll get a fix out there ASAP.

Shipping spirit :) It's definitely nothing planned on our part. We just happened to wrap up some stuff around the same time.
