While you may see some commits of mine for projects related to my employer, I do not use GitHub for personal projects.
My projects can be found at https://mikegerwitz.com/projects/, with a mirror of some of them at https://gitlab.com/mikegerwitz.
Primarily because GitHub requires users to run non-free JavaScript to use all features of the website. Not only will I not do this, but I don't want to direct users to GitHub either, because doing so is asking them to run non-free software.
GitHub is under new ownership, so maybe there is hope to change that.
For more information, see https://mikegerwitz.com/about/githubbub.
GitLab has committed to licensing all client-side JavaScript under a free license. Not only does this mean that I can use GitLab without running non-free software, but it also means that I am not asking others to visit a website that causes them to run non-free software.
GitLab also releases their Community Edition as free software, which means that users are free to self-host using free software if they so choose.
Pull requests (PRs) are not the only way to send changes to others. In fact, it's not even a feature of Git itself.
You have a few options:
- If your repository is published somewhere (be it this site or elsewhere),
I can add it as a remote (using
git remote add) and merge your changes. - Email the patches to me. You can prepare them using
git format-patch. - If the repository is on GitLab, I'll collaborate with you there.
- Get in touch with me and I'll help you out.
