GitHub Arvostelua 229

Scam company. Not only they sell a copilot product that costs a good amount of money, they also limit that premium feature with additional costs after reaching 1500 tokens. and on top of that they now rate limit the top tier product that you wouldnt even be able to reach 1500 token with that product. Absolut scam behavior and needs to be suspended from all selling plattforms that allows them to rip of money out of peoples pockets. Clearly a scam business model.

Impossible to contact support, impossible to recreate an account due to impossible cpatachas or get any of my data deleted,

Github has been the best tool for me to save my work, really easy to use, and helps a lot, i can host in pages and use it to host in other software, such as vercel, render and many more. I recommend this for all new developers or the ones who are looking for a tool to save up their work.

I’m extremely disappointed with GitHub’s support.

Almost four months ago, my account was suspended because of what appears to have been an honest mistake. I was unaware that a repository I believed to be private was actually public. After Copilot flagged some content, my entire account was suspended.

The consequences have been severe. I’ve lost access to all of my code and project material, including client work, organization access, and school-related work. I’ve been completely locked out, with no practical way to transfer anything to another account or recover important data.

What’s most frustrating is the lack of support. I received one reply on the same day I first contacted GitHub, and then nothing further. I opened another ticket and have still not received any response, even after more than a month.

For a platform that so many developers and businesses rely on, this level of support is unacceptable. If GitHub can lock you out of your account for months without meaningful communication, it raises serious concerns about trusting the platform with important professional work.

Account issues like this should be handled within days, not left unresolved for four months. At this point, I’m losing hope that I’ll ever regain access.

GitHub is a very reliable platform for code hosting and collaboration. Easy to use and great for managing projects. Very useful for developers.

The Github support for account recovery was dismal. I waited a long time to no avail. I tried really hard and eventually they just did not respond constructively.

Every single sub-5 review is a lie. I firmly believe that GitHub is the absolute best company when it comes to coding and generative coding AI assistance.

Where do all the big league code go? GitHub.
Where is all the open-source? GitHub.
Where do you go when looking for a specific algorithm for your problem? GitHub.

They are simply dominating the market. Thanks GitHub!

I just wanted to update three files in my GitHub repo, but following ChatGPT’s guidance, I used git push --force. This overwrote the entire remote and all the previous commits history which was for portfolio building. Even though I had clearly stated only those three files.

This is a maintenance nightmare, not worth the hassle.

Verifizierung funktioniert nicht. Es kommt immer eine Fehlermeldung. Verschiedene Browser und Einstellungen versucht. Nicht nutzbar, Zeitdieb.

An absolute cancer of a subscription platform that will force you into a $300 pm bill you never signed up for then do nothing but throw dark patterns and bad UI to prevent you from cancelling.

You send multiple tickets over a week and get no response and you'll end up being billed premium requests just to get the AI to help you cancel… which it still isn't able to do.

I had to delete my organisation just to stop it all and will NEVER return to this disease of a platform for the rest of my life.

EASILY the worst experience of any paid product in my 20+ years of development.

My GitHub account (username: lev384501) was permanently suspended for "suspicious activity." I was using Codespaces to experiment and learn. The Termux app on my Android device crashed several times, causing repeated disconnections. That's the only reason my activity looked suspicious.

GitHub Support ignored me completely. I sent 4 tickets (#4140228, #4140402, #4140705). Every single time, I received the exact same automated reply, accusing me of violating GitHub Actions terms — even though I barely used Actions.

They never explained:

· Which repository violated the rules?
· Which GitHub Action?
· Did anyone even check my login logs?

I also contacted Microsoft (case #7099207414). They just sent me back to GitHub.

I never received an email notification about the suspension. I just lost access to all my code, projects, and data.

This is not support. This is a machine that bans people and ignores them forever.

Upgraded to Pro+ via Apple Subscriptions, the upgrade wasn't applied (defective integration between Apple's and GitHub's) and NOBODY was there to help me. There is no human you can ever talk to, they only take the money and run away.

Useless. Avoid avoid….

The best place for OSS and private projects. I also like how simple and useful GitHub issues are. I’m always using as a backlog and for project planning needs

I’m honestly losing my mind trying to create a simple GitHub account. I’ve been stuck for 20 minutes on this ridiculous Arkose Labs CAPTCHA with the blurry icons over the cups.

The images are so low-res that I’m clicking exactly what the prompt says, but it keeps failing me. Even the audio alternative is a joke—having to listen to audio files 10 times to pick out a sound is just so annoying.

Is it possible that this low quality actually makes it easier for a bot than for a human? A computer vision AI can recognize patterns in noisy, pixelated data much better than a human eye can. By making the quality this bad, aren't you just filtering out real people while giving sophisticated bots a technical advantage?

Honestly, I’d rather just provide a scan of my ID or a tax number—literally anything that proves I’m a human—than spend 20 minutes guessing blurry pixels.

Also, why not just monitor behavior after the login? An AI bot behaves very differently from a real developer. Why put up these impossible walls at the front door?

Has GitHub just given up on a functional user experience for new developers?

After having the account github is great but that isnt how the anti AI security should influence a registration.

AWFUL. CAREFUL CANCELLING TRIALS AS THEY WILL WIPE OUT ALL YOUR DATA AND REPOS. AVOID THIS EVIL CORP

They i god damn m0rons fro m the start what is this 5 puzzle sign up challange?? Really??

So good, the "Actions" tab such a good feature!
