[WayBack] Frank A. Krueger on Twitter: “I made a build status IoT thing! Automatically polls @bitrise and is even Alexa controlled (for brightness and to turn off). Now I want to add github issue and PR counts. Just a $12 ESP32 and a $30 led matrix.”

That was such a cool idea: rickrolling your own git profile. [WayBack] Thread by @mathdroid: “I now have the most swagger @github profile, EVER […]”.

[WayBack] Syncing your fork to the original repository via the browser · KirstieJane/STEMMRoleModels Wiki · GitHub
TL;DR: you can do the sync from the Web UI, but it always gives you an extra merge commit.

Checkout github pull requests locally. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
Source: [WayBack] Checkout github pull requests locally · GitHub
The trick is to add one more fetch line to the [remote "origin"] sections in your .git/config files, as in the gist below.
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
Which reminds me I should read more about that the fetch syntax which is called RefSpec: [WayBack] Git – The Refspec

There is also a great technical analysis at [Wayback/Archive.is] Analysis of the RIAA claims against youtube-dl · GitHub
This write-up follows the code paths in youtube-dl that get executed when you try to run it based on the claims of RIAA has put forward. This is a technical analysis, not a legal one.

Finding the github commit search page was not obvious to me as the main page only allows searching for repositories, and commit pages insides repositories do not have a search box:
Luckily there are two search pages that can search issues:
You can get to both by stumbling on [WayBack] About searching on GitHub – User Documentation, then clicking “Search using a visual interface”
The first search page has built-in help which I have included below, though not explaining how to search for commits which are in [WayBack] Searching commits – User Documentation, and certainly does not tell you need to add type=commitsto the search box.

[WayBack] RawGit: RawGit served raw files directly from GitHub with proper Content-Type headers.
This means you have to redirect your existing RawGit links before October 2019, and you cannot add new links on RawGit.
You might want to try alternatives, for instance this one I mentioned in 2017: raw.githack.com – like rawgit.com but supports bitbucket as well and runs on plain nginx.
raw.githack.com serves raw files directly from GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab with proper Content-Type headers.
There are some other options that RawGit itself mentions:
What you should use instead
The following free services offer fantastic alternatives to some or all of RawGit’s functionality. You may like them even more than RawGit.
RawGit source is still at [WayBack] GitHub – rgrove/rawgit: Served files from raw.githubusercontent.com, but with the correct content types., so if you want to host your own alternative you can.
It means I need to change these pages:
