I did not look through the details, but it’s strange that one of the features is that Cloudflare R2 will be used to improve download speeds and reduce API calls to Github while at the same time adding a new requirement of adding a personal Github API token.
Hopefully one day the Github requirement will be removed. It would be nice if projects/code stored on Gitlab, Codeberg, or other Git services like Gitea or Forgejo could be used without having to mirror/fork the project onto Github.
I don’t think this is going to happen anytime soon. In their livestreams they’ve thanked GitHub a million times for their support and services, so there’s probably some interest there.
Honestly, I am one of those who still doesn’t feel like GitHub has betrayed us (yet)… So it’s fine for me. I just hope that once GitHub gets enshittified, that we can quickly move to a more open system.
The improvements sound great.
