- GNOME is redirecting Git traffic from their GitLab to GitHub mirrors to reduce bandwidth costs.
- Users have reported issues with Git clones being redirected to GitHub instead of GNOME's official GitLab repositories.
- The change is intentional and aims to mitigate high data transfer costs.
- Andrea Veri mentioned monitoring costs in February and potential additional changes if needed.
- Sophie Herold confirmed the redirection as a cost-saving measure.
- This move contrasts with other open-source projects migrating away from GitHub due to AI training concerns.
