# Issues for GitHub



## What this repository is about



**This is not the actual repository for the GitHub website.**



I'm not affiliated with GitHub in any way, except that I use it all

day long, and almost all my code is hosted there.



UPDATE: as of April 2020, with [the acquisition of npm, Inc. by

GitHub](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/612764866888007680/next-phase-montage),

I am a GitHub employee.  I remain focused on the

[npm/cli](https://github.com/npm/cli) project, and any opinions expressed

here belong to the person expressing them at the time they were expressed,

and should not be taken as official GitHub policy in any way.  I still use

GitHub all day long, and almost all my code is still hosted there.



Issues and feature requests posted to GitHub are not stored in any

publicly available location, so I find that I quickly lose track of

the things that I've sent them.



## For GitHubbers



If you are a GitHubber, and you would like to respond and close issues

on this repository, please let me (or one of the other collaborators)

know, and we'll add you as a collaborator. Alternatively, you could use some secret

GitHub internal APIs to get access, if you have such things. If you

want to know what people are asking for or ask for them to provide

details about use cases. Then head over to the issues list.



## If you have an issue or feature request for GitHub



1. Search for existing [issues](https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues)

2. If you did not find any existing issue for your topic, post a new issue 

3. **Additionally, please email [email protected] because this repo is strictly for our own (unofficial) tracking purposes.** 

   Make sure to send GitHub the issue URL at the end of the message so that they can

   more easily find updates and further comments here.

4. If GitHub replies, (and they usually do, quickly) and if it is not a confidential matter

   like a security disclosure, add their reply to the issue so that other

   users know what their official response was.



## Upvoting existing issues



Upvote existing issues with thumbs up :thumbsup:. Please do not add +1 comments.



If you merely want to +1 an issue

([isaacs/github#9](https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/9)), please also send

an email to [email protected] to register your interest. Be sure to

include a link to the tracking issue that was filed.



See more in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/isaacs/github/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)



## Issue closing policy



Issues will only be closed once GitHub implements / fixes them,

or explicitly says WONTFIX, which almost never happens nowadays.

Issues may take a long time (forever) to be fixed, so make sure that

you are ready to keep them around on your [/issues](https://github.com/issues)

list for a long time.

## Statement of Intent



This repository is created in a spirit of positive intent and

community good will.  I have more love in my heart for GitHub than

anyone probably ought to for any website.  They've changed the face of

open source, and enabled amazing things to happen.  I've personally

benefited quite a bit from those amazing things, and my life is much

better as a direct result.



I'm very thankful to GitHub, and the great work they do.  When I shake

my fists in frustration, it's only because they are so good that I

spend countless hours being productive on their website, and even

minor problems seem to jump out.



Trolling, disparaging remarks about GitHub, or even just unproductive

[kvetching](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kvetching), will not be tolerated.  Those comments will be deleted and

the users blocked.



We're here to help each other, and the company that does so much for

us.



<3
