Don't couple your Go code to GitHub | Iain Cambridge

https://iain.rocks/blog/dont-couple-your-go-code-to-github
The main problem with using your git hosting location is that your code is now coupled to a hosting provider. That is, if you move your git hosting to GitLab then you have to change your code! Otherwise, you’ll be fetching the old verison. This can result in you being unable to change git hosting provider because the amount of overhead in switching. So you literally end up with your code coupled to GitHub. Which sounds completely nuts, but it’s something that is pretty much defacto in the Go community.

Self-hosted Forgejo Actions Runner – David Bushell – Web Dev (UK)

https://dbushell.com/2025/08/15/self-hosted-forgejo-actions-runner/
Did I mention GitHub is dead to me? I’m moving my code to a self-hosted Forgejo instance at git.dbushell.com. Today I added Actions. Forgejo Actions are a thing like GitHub Actions for “continuous integration”. Love a bit of CI! Forgejo Actions don’t work out of the box. You need to provide a “runner” which is a machine where all the action happens inside a containerised environment.

GitHub is sinking – David Bushell – Web Dev (UK)

https://dbushell.com/2026/04/29/github-is-sinking/
GitHub is racing towards the mythical zero nines of uptime. Users are starting to notice that GitHub is now a Microsoft product. Eww! Official uptime paints a concerning chart. The missing status page tell a far worse story. Whatever the truth, it’s impossible to miss the delightful experience that is Microsoft GitHub if you use it semi-regularly.

Using Homebrew to Distribute Early Access Binaries from Private Github Repositories :: LGUG2Z

https://lgug2z.com/articles/using-homebrew-to-distribute-early-access-binaries-from-private-github-repositories/
After setting up nightly builds on GitHub Actions, I wanted to create a Homebrew Tap and Formula for people who sponsor me on GitHub for early access - being able to brew install is a much more pleasant onboarding experience for a new sponsor than having to compile from source.

Running Pull Requests in Github Codespaces - These Yaks Ain’t Gonna Shave Themselves

https://polotek.net/posts/running-pull-requests-in-github-codespaces/
Here’s the idea. I have a solo project that I’m working on, and instead of hacking away on the main branch, I’m using a full feature branch and pull request workflow to keep my changes organized. This might seem like overkill, but it’s helpful for me because I tend to bounce around and leave things half done. I can run things locally and test different things by switching between branches. But I’m also doing a lot more AI-assisted development. Locally I use Claude Code. But I’ve been experimenting with allowing Github Copilot to create PRs. I create a github issue, assign it to copilot, and it spins up in the cloud and does work. Afterwards it opens a pull request for me to review. So even though this is a “solo” project, I end up with pull requests that I didn’t write myself and I need to validate.

My self-hosted Forgejo runner setup | I do what I can

https://mteixeira.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/my-self-hosted-forgejo-runner-setup/
In this (very long post) I will be demonstrating how I have setup my self-hosted Forgejo runners at home using Docker Compose, Docker-in-Docker and a bonus LXC. To demonstrate with a practical example, I will be building an Ansible Execution environment, to be used in my home lab automation. There will be two versions of it: a single node, and a dual node build. Both will result in the images for two platforms/architectures (AMD64 and ARM64).

What follows GitHub? · Applied Cartography

https://jmduke.com/posts/post/github-next/
I’m not well equipped to prognosticate here: all I know is that this is not the tool of the future, and whoever replaces GitHub will have a narrative arc of incumbency displacement that will feel obvious and trite in retrospect.

Nibble Stew: Let's properly analyze an AI article for once

https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2025/08/lets-properly-analyze-ai-article-for.html
Recently the CEO of Github wrote a blog post called Developers reinvented. It was reposted with various clickbait headings like GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke Warns Developers: "Either Embrace AI or Get Out of This Career" (that one feels like an LLM generated summary of the actual post, which would be ironic if it wasn't awful). To my great misfortune I read both of these. Even if we ignore whether AI is useful or not, the writings contain some of the absolute worst reasoning and stretched logical leaps I have seen in years, maybe decades. If you are ever in the need of finding out how not to write a "scientific" text on any given subject, this is the disaster area for you.

Supercharging Game Development with GitHub Copilot

https://timmykokke.com/blog/2025/2025-03-31-gamedev-with-copilot/?utm_source=FuckOff&utm_medium=FuckOff
Over the past year, AI-powered development tools have completely transformed how I build games. GitHub Copilot has become an essential part of my workflow when developing WebXR games with Wonderland Engine. Today, I want to share how I leverage Copilot to streamline my game development process and some practical tips to make it work better for your specific needs.

How I write my blogs in Obsidian and publish instantly | Gautham Shankar

https://ingau.me/blog/how-i-write-my-blogs-in-obsidian-and-publish-instantly/
This setup takes a bit of initial work, but the payoff is enormous. Once it’s all set up, this workflow fades into the background - I just write, commit, and publish. No friction, no fees, and everything stays in my hands. If you’re looking for a lightweight, sustainable way to blog, this might be worth trying.

How I use LLMs as a staff engineer | sean goedecke

https://www.seangoedecke.com/how-i-use-llms/
Personally, I feel like I get a lot of value from AI. I think many of the people who don’t feel this way are “holding it wrong”: i.e. they’re not using language models in the most helpful ways. In this post, I’m going to list a bunch of ways I regularly use AI in my day-to-day as a staff engineer.

How I built my blog in one day

How I did this blog is nothing new, as a matter of fact many have done exactly what I did and it is well documented. This post is just on how I did it and since it is all very fresh in my mind I thought I would write a post about it. For other tutorials on how to do this checkout these:

#reviewth.is @github

http://reviewth.is/
GitHub gives us almost everything we need to do code reviews. Commit, file and line level comments, comment notifications, plus everything else that makes the GitHub experience great. The only thing missing is an easy way to initiate a review. If I want my code to be reviewed, I’ve got to go to GitHub, get the URL (and any other info), then compose an email to everyone I want to review it.

Open Source (Almost) Everything

http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html
Should we open source Grit or keep it proprietary? Keeping it private would provide a higher hurdle for competing Ruby-based Git hosting sites, giving us an advantage. Open sourcing it would mean thousands of people worldwide could use it to build interesting Git tools, creating an even more vibrant Git ecosystem. After a small amount of debate we decided to open source Grit. I don't recall the specifics of the conversation but that decision nearly four years ago has led to what I think is one of our most important core values: open source (almost) everything.

Dynamically including Github code | PeterBraden.co.uk

http://peterbraden.co.uk/article/github-include
"pasted code is dead code - real living code changes, and short of going back and repasting, the code on the web quickly becomes out of date. So this is a little snippet I whipped up to dynamically (by the wonders of cross-site ajax) load code from a github branch. This means, when you update the git branch and repush, the code will update."
