"My GitHub account has been restricted due to US sanctions as I live in Crimea."
This is pretty worrying... GitHub's monopoly is not good, and package managers which do 'git clone' from GitHub can become unavailable for a lot of people.
Another wave of #Techno Sanctions, this time imposed by @github. Iranian independent software developers (with no ties to government) are being restricted from the popular OSS platform.

That’s a shame for you @Microsoft!
Read @Hamed’s story. https://t.co/fbtpbNcTlT
So @github is now denying #FLOSS maintainers the ability to use their platform b/c of US sanctions.https://t.co/cX04QT2cC0

once again, centralized, proprietary software is fascism (re: the silencing of independent, open source developers)
If you use online services from Microsoft-owned GitHub in a country facing US sanctions, you could be about to be kicked off all but the most basic offerings: https://t.co/E2ANN2bvBR (by ZDNet's @LiamT)

Interesting tidbit to keep in your back pocket: US trade policy & sanctions apply to #code hosted on @github. This makes you think about whether having a centralised decentralised version control system makes any sense. #software #engineeringhttps://t.co/qMMlUek19j

Some of us are trying so hard to make research reproducible. A very common (and until now accessible) way is to publish the code on GitHub. This was easy for everyone.
