Since yesterday a lot of users in Europe found their workflows failing due to Github seemingly randomly throwing HTTP/401 on git clone/git pull when interacting with public repos without authentication.

It was now confirmed by staff member that this indeed is intentional and no further steps are planned at this point.

Time to leave github! Boycott is the only language companies understand!

    Done a long time ago. It would be great if others at least had official mirrors. A mirrors.txt with a list of links in the repo would be very helpful and could be a start.

    But I'm afraid people will either just stay or start hosting on the cursor git forge.
