GitHub520
DESCRIPTION
GitHub520 is a community-maintained approach to improving access to GitHub services from regions with network friction by leveraging host mappings. The repository provides a regularly updated list of domain-to-IP entries meant to be appended to a system’s hosts file so certain GitHub endpoints resolve faster or more reliably. It includes scripts or guidance to automate updates, reducing the need for manual lookups when IPs change. The project’s goal is pragmatic: improve developer productivity by mitigating timeouts and slow asset retrieval during cloning, package installs, or browsing. It is intended for users who understand the implications of hosts modifications and want a reversible, client-side tweak. While simple in concept, it has become a widely referenced workaround for network constraints affecting developer workflows.
Features
- Curated hosts mappings aimed at improving GitHub connectivity
- Update scripts and instructions to refresh entries easily
- Focus on speeding cloning, asset downloads, and site access
- Client-side, reversible changes without installing heavy tools
- Plain-text format suitable for automation and CI images
- Community contributions to keep entries current
