Gnome GitLab Redirecting Some Git Traffic to GitHub for Reducing Costs

7 days ago

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.
