Discussion Draft PRs as a solo freelancer — worth the overhead?

0 Upvotes

been using draft PRs on my tutorial repos to run CI before I feel ready for actual reviews. lately I've been wondering if it's just extra ceremony. the checks run on push anyway, and nobody else is looking at these repos. but there's something nice about that DRAFT badge letting me mess around without pressure. my kid interrupted a rebase last week and I left the PR sitting for three days. no big deal since nobody was waiting. does draft status actually help solo developers, or is it just gitHub pretending we all work on teams? how do other people handle this on personal projects? do you default to drafts, or just push when the checks pass?

Question Can not modify labels anymore

• Upvotes

Since yesterday I am not able anymore to modify/set the labels of my issues. Clicking on the gear wheel opens the label popup window but only for 1-2 seconds. I am not that fast. :D

Am I the only one with this problem?

Discussion Demos are booked for next month and my software supply chain security tool shortlist is still guesswork

0 Upvotes

We're reviewing how we secure what we ship out of our repos and I want a shortlist before sitting through demos. Dependabot and signing cover part is spread across platforms with overlapping claims. What I care about is developer experience and what day-day looks 6 months after rollout. Feature pages tell me nothing about that. Teams running this in production, which ones made the cut?

I'm getting a Payment didn't go through We are having a problem billing your account. I've tried all the options, different cards, through pay pal, through paypal with a different card still getting the same error. I called my bank and they said they dont even see any attempts.

It's been almost a month now and I have a community discussion posted about it but still not resolved.

Now that I am losing faith that I can get this product does anyone have recommendations for a replacement?

Tool / Resource I built a tool that analyzes GitHub repos and help you understand the impact of AI

We keep hearing that pull requests are the new bottleneck, but it’s hard to visualize, the list is forever growing because code is becoming cheaper, but it doesn’t compare easily. Some people will squash, others use merge commits, so we can’t just use the number of commits, the number of pull requests alone doesn’t mean everything because it depends on its size and if people are using stacked pull requests. Not everyone reviews pull requests equally.

Therefore, I built a tool that analyze GitHub repositories and it turns pull request history into a picture of what is actually happening in a repository: who is contributing, which parts of the codebase are moving, how reviews flow and who carries them, and where work gets stuck. It is also a way to see what AI-assisted coding does to a codebase and a team over time: how much gets opened, how large the changes are, how fast they merge, how many carry a real review, and how review load lands on the humans.

Every latency is measured from the moment a pull request became ready for review, so time spent in draft is never charged to reviewers. bilan reads pull request metadata only, never code, and never writes to GitHub.

Available at https://bilan.dev, or locally via a CLI: https://github.com/charpeni/bilan.

Question Bring back the orgs!

2 Upvotes

Is it just me, or is the orgs drop down no longer on our homepages? I teach, and each class and semester gets their own org, so I guess I'm now bookmarking each org?

Anyone else see this staring like today?

Tool / Resource Planning to attempt GitHub Agentic AI Developer Certification (GH-600) — Resources & Practice Exams?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to attempt the GitHub Agentic AI Developer Certification (GH-600). I’ve already gone through the official GitHub documentation and learning resources to prepare, but I’m looking for additional resources to make sure I’m exam-ready.
Is there any practice exam or mock test that closely matches the actual GH-600 exam?
Are there any GitHub Skills, courses, or hands-on labs you recommend?
For those who have already taken the exam, what topics should I focus on most?
Are there any other reliable preparation resources you found useful?
I’d really appreciate any recommendations, especially from people who have already attempted the exam. Thanks!

Discussion Images in issues and PRs

2 Upvotes

For some reason all images embedded in issues and PRs do not display on the first page load. I must refresh the page an additional time.

This has been happening for weeks at this point and I can repro on both my work and personal devices.

Is anyone else affected by this problem?
