Ghostty is leaving GitHub

2 hours ago

The author, Mitchell Hashimoto, is a long-time GitHub user (user 1299) who has used GitHub daily for over 18 years, considering it a central part of his life and happiness.
He expresses deep personal and emotional attachment to GitHub, describing it as a refuge during tough times and a place where his hobby, work, and passion aligned.
Recently, he has become publicly critical of GitHub due to frequent outages that negatively impact his work, noting almost daily disruptions over the past month.
As a result, he has decided to move the Ghostty project away from GitHub, citing that it is no longer a reliable platform for serious work, though his personal projects will remain for now.
The move from GitHub has been planned for months and is not directly linked to a specific outage; Ghostty will maintain a read-only mirror on GitHub while transitioning to other providers.
