When your workplace blocks GitHub.com... T.T

Get out.

You're working for retards

@M1sf3t Ah Yea forgot about all the Autistic screeching that took place here on dR.

Good ole memories lol

@M1sf3t more like irrational fear, but close enough.

Some companies afraid someone leak their code, but meh, mine blocked it in the past, now they allow it

G i t L a b t i m e

@devTea Companies like to forget that someone can leak code in a number of different ways anyway

@kescherRant yes, and their safe space is secure according to them

Makes sense.. Somehow people manage to upload client/company project secrets to their personal public github repos. They alwsys claim it's an accident. I find it hard to believe

I honestly have no idea how could I by mistake do that:

- mkdir newdir
- cd newdir
- git init --bare
- cd ~/projects/clients_project/secrets
- cp id_rsa passwords ~/newdir/
- cd -
- git remote add origin http://github.com/its_an_accident/...
- git add *
- git commit -m 'whoops...'
- git push

@netikras the only thing I have no idea there is cp passwords

@netikras i believe stupid people tjat do it by "mistake" use some sort of GUI.

They must think very badly of their engineers if they think blocking GitHub will stop data leaks.

@bioDan @netikras Most likely the culprit is 'git add .' or 'git commit --all'.

@netikras if people really wanna steal away stuff, they are gonna do that anyway. Blocking GitHub for that doesn't make sense.

Just make a reverse proxy. I have a raspi just for reverse proxies and mirrors. It's 10 lines apache config and always proves useful.
