Feature Request: CLI tool that talks with GitHub directly #613

Closed martin-braun closed 1 year ago

martin-braun commented 1 year ago

Today I experience slowness of the website. GitHub loads fine, so I assume the server is under load for some reason? That got me thinking, it would be nice to have a gi tool that talks directly with GitHub to generate my .gitignore so there is no dependency on gitignore.io.

Hi @martin-braun, we haven't checked anything out of the ordinary in the error rate or response time in our servers:

image Even in our spikes, the requests keep under 300ms (average of 10 minutes). Do you think that could be generated by a local issue?

Using raw files directly from Github could be an alternative for a fork, but I feel it contradicts the current architecture.

@mcarneiro I can't reproduce, because the website loads fine now. I don't know the source of the issue, but GitHub load fine all the time. Maybe my ISP was related or any node in between.

I'm not sure, maybe the front-end was only affected, in which case the current solution should still be sufficient. I will close this, since there seem to be no interest in a dedicated CLI tool that talks with GitHub directly.

After all, anybody is free to take the initiative at any time. Cheers.
