  • Hacker News
  • Well FINALLY!
  • And gone again (only IPv6 addresses there now are in the pages block). A short lived test? Or a bug/misconfiguration? GitHub has had no shortage of the latter unfortunately.
  • It must be a snow day in hell.
  • I guess this helps the nomad crowd more than us cubicle jockeys right? Also iot? You guys can build ci/CD straight to iot edges.
  • Great. I have a few IPv6-only hosts, and having to workaround GitHub being ipv4-only was a pain, especially during turnup, since my host config is stored on GitHub.
  • see the "git" block for remote IPv6 ranges. This indicates they may be moving forward on ipv6 .

    "2a0a:a440::/29", "2606:50c0::/32",

  • Long overdue transition. Native IPv6 support for Git SSH remotes solves significant NAT bottleneck issues for automated CI/CD pipelines at scale.
  • There are ranges in the "git" block, but it doesn't mean they're doing anything with it (until it's in the DNS or they publish specific IPs are safe to connect to it doesn't mean anything)

    This page is actually in the wayback machine (thank you!!!) and the same ranges were already listed in 2022 (not in 2021, didn't look for exact first occurence)
