#12While this issue might appear small, even a "mistake", and would probably be resolved to OP's satisfaction (wishing them all the best!), it truly is time for entrepreneurs to flock together and start building alternatives to Github.

#13It is ridiculous that GitHub has not even responded to your support ticket.
To anyone reading from GitHub, this is making me rethink my choice of GitHub as a platform, and I'm sure the same is true for other people reading this post. Your reputation is very much at stake.
To anyone reading this from Gitlab, how easy is it to migrate CI/CD off of GitHub Actions to Gitlab?

I think you should be first asking how easy is it to get free support from GitLab.

#15Incidentally, what terrible GitHub support that the best way to resolve this is to get help from Twitter or front page here.

Careful about leaping to conclusions, we're hearing one side of a story here.

#17Always do a periodic full off-site cold backup of all your GitHub repos. It's very easy to script and should compress down very small.

#18I'm sorry to break it to you. But that's basically want you agreed to by accepting their terms of service:
"GitHub has the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time."
https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-o...
People, please read and question terms of online services.

That’s not a valid excuse for people who rely on these services professionally. The ability for companies to errantly and permanently ban people without any kind of due process is unacceptable.
If we as a community truly care about OSS and the people behind it, this kind of error cannot be tolerated. It flies in the face of everything that the open source community stands for.

We may find out very soon. If this blows up (and it really should), Gitlab may pull a move similar to their automatic migration utility from when Microsoft acquired GitHub.
