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.

I deleted my repos on github and moved to a mix of codeberg and selfhosted forgejo.

But I do occasionally fork/clone/reupload random projects from github to github so they have to spend money on storage and the scrapers.
