Today I learned GitHub has a CLI. I guess that's like Pornhub having a CLI
So happy I deployed gitea to my homelab last month. It's got an import feature from github and honestly just faster and better uptime that github. Claude can use it just fine with tea cli and git. It's pretty much a knockoff github, but I think it's better so far.

Why we collect telemetry ...our team needs visibility into how features are being used in practice. We use this data to prioritize our work and evaluate whether features are meeting real user needs. I'm curious why corporate development teams always feel the need to spy on their users? Is it not sufficient to employ good engineering and design practices? Git has served us well for 20+ years without detailed analytics…
I've repeatedly talked about this on HN; I call it Marketing Driven Development. It's when some Marketing manager goes to your IT manager and starts asking for things that no customer wants or needs, so they can track if their initiatives justify their job, aka are they bringing in more people to x feature?
Honestly, with something as sensitive as software developer tools, I think any sort of telemetry should ALWAYS be off by default.
Embrace, extend, extinguish.
The first two have been done.
I give it five years before the GH CLI is the only way to interact with GitHub repos.
Then the third will also be done, and the cycle is complete.
Love it when a PR is brief: https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/13254 > Removes the env var that gates telemetry, so it will be on by default.
Regulators should wake up and fine them hard, so hard to become existential. Make an example for others not to follow.
