Context:
People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)
... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

Yes but IPv4 is becoming expensive and it's annoying having to use a middleman to clone github repos on a v6-only VPS
IPv6 is not hard, there is no excuse not to have it
Or one could use alternative hosters, or maybe even selfhost git services.
Yeah let me self-host other peoples github repos because github doesn't have IPv6 lmao dude
How about "Let me selfhost my own repos, so other people working with my stuff can use IPv6, as well as be sure no large corporation known for being cancer stands behind it and monitors every thing I do."?
I do 🥰
That doesn't solve the problem of me needing other peoples githubs repos on a VPS with no v4
