I have a friend in China who's trying to learn software development by himself. It's ridiculously hard compared to the west. It shouldn't be underestimated how Wikipedia, Stackoverflow and Github can increase your learning speed.

#22Hi, I'm in Shanghai and can reach Github fine, and there are no engineers speaking about github being blocked within China.
If they’re blocking using DNS, maybe GitHub is still in cache for you?
I thought that also, but no, I can access it on my computer and my phone, so I think it's just an overreaction on OP's part.

#23What alternative platforms do Chinese developers use?
I use Coding [1] but Gitee [2] is also popular. [1] https://coding.net/ [2] https://gitee.com/
Wow, gitee's UI looks familiar: https://gitee.com/assets/homepage/screenshots/repo_index.png

#30Very good news. For alternative open source git providers. And for p2p git versions. One on zeronet and one on ipfs. Wait, git is p2p itself in its core? So p2p issue boards with search may be OK.
