GitHub

Just implemented in a tool box a Python script which can request GitHub API to get figures and details from an organisation and compute results.

The logs can then be used for example to make KPI and ranking.

Hello dear Lemmy Community,

I have a very nice story to tell you all. I was having a blast over the last few days setting up a home server with completely open-source software. As usual, I encountered some small problems with specific apps, so I wrote two issues and one feature request on their respective GitHub pages. After a few days, I received no responses in the very active communities, but nothing too strange yet.

Today, in the evening, I used my phone to check if a specific issue had gotten any reactions by now, but I couldn’t find my issue at all. I just saw "23 open issues," and none of them were mine. After logging in, it miraculously changed to 24 open issues.

Well, after a bit more testing, it turned out I was shadow banned. After discovering that, I tried to contact their support, but I was told I need to activate 2FA via an app or phone number first. "No thanks," I thought, and went ahead to try deleting my (not so important) GitHub account. But surprise, surprise: the account deletion button was greyed out, and I was told to write their support! Which I can’t do because I don't have 2FA!

What the fuck, GitHub?!

Thanks for reading! I hope you had more fun reading this than I had experiencing it.

I remember there being an option to filter starred repositories by language, now I can't find it anymore. The button is just gone. Some older GitHub documentation still shows the option:

I thought you guys might enjoy it: I have a website that I push to frequently on GitHub, and some GitHub actions that update it periodically by pulling code and generating docs from it. I needed to connect to my vps often and update the website which was cumbersome.

Well a solution is to use webhooks on push events and have a server listening to those events to then update said websites for me.

You can sort GitHub issues by most "upvoted" using this syntax:

is:issue is:open sort:reactions-+1-desc 

Thanks to gromenauer for making me aware of it in this GitHub comment.

Full documentation for sorting GitHub issues and pull requests can be found here.

EDIT (2024-08-27T05:20Z): There are also UI options that enable sorting by most "upvoted":

• On desktop (through a web browser):

  

• On mobile (through the app):
