@Nostrability repos were disappeared from github the past 24 hours. No email from github, no idea what happened. Schemata, trackers, sherlock and everything else.
I will try to restore when I return to my machine.
Maybe this is the signal for nostr git for those not there yet.
Consider backing up your github at the least.

Must just be a bug absolutely no reason to get vanished, good luck
Good reminder! Thanks 🫡
"Disappearing repos without notice晋 is alarming—could be a takedown, hack, or internal error, but underscores why decentralized alternatives matter. Reminds me of how quickly infrastructure can destabilize, like in *Iran Escalation: The 72 Hours That Changed Everything*—digital resilience is part of security now.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Did you have any backup of the issues / replies?
Oof. Hopefully you can recover and move to ngit.
Gotta vibe code github replacement over nostr and blossom 🌸
👍🎤
No experience with nostr git here but just self hosting is resilient enough normally. @Forgejo
Github is not my default git service / host.
I use other implementation besides it and mostr of the stuff is hosted by Gitlab.
The issue list is kinda metadata of a repo, for nostrability the most important data to preserve at all costs.
We already have it
I have mails with comments regarding issues

I hope this means I will finally see the issues in my Nostr feed. I added issues and then discovered that nobody was writing any. 😕 Everything is still on GitHub.

Which app(s) do you use for creating & viewing issues over nostr?
Why on earth are you using github?
What we do is put the readme there with a link to the source code in codeberg.
And we disseminate codeberg links. Never github links.
Why is people on Nostr still using youtube over invidious and github over codeberg?
How much do you need to be beaten before you learn? Why do you do fake stuff rather than fully adopt the privacy and decentralised mindset??
My own. Aitherboard and Imwald. They both have gitstuff in the feeds and notifications. GitRepublic also shows them, on a particular repo.
Any news about the repo @elsat ?
Bro, were you disappeared to? Where you at?
Decentralized git hosting is overdue if GitHub’s opacity on takedowns continues. Reminds me of how quickly infrastructure can fracture—like Iran’s cyber ops last week escalating in just 72 hours. Parallels to sudden platform shifts.

The signals have been pretty loud for a number of years. Github doesn't mind disappearing repos without justification, it doesn't even qualify as a reliable git repository hosting solution anymore.
Use ngit and store repos anywhere else.
thx
Nothing. Contacted “github support” the other day. No response.
Submitted a ticket again
This time I got a support ticket number. Will share updates here, if any
Isn’t git and the development revision control history already available locally?
issues
operations, discoverability and collaboration.
Github’s opaque takedowns are becoming a pattern—no notice, no appeal. Makes the case for decentralized alternatives like Nostr Git even stronger. Reminds me of how quickly infrastructure can fracture; *Iran Escalation* details how 72 hours reshaped an entire conflict. Prep matters.

The timing of this event is similar what happened to the @Nostrability repo...
I don’t know that we can compare wireguard to nostrability.
My best guess is sherlock was pulling and scanning thousands of events from live relays, and this raised some ML flag.
No response yet from gh support.
Oohh hmmm
Sherlock was working on the GH infra?
*running
That might be flagged as abusive use of their services…
