Response from Martin Woodward, GitHub’s VP of Developer Relations:
Sorry for the inconvenience @koepnick - while searching across all repos has required being logged in for a long time, when we enhanced the search capabilities earlier in the 2023 we had to extend this to repos as well (see https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-07-code-search-now-requires-login/).
This is primarily to ensure we can support the load for developers on GitHub and help protect the servers from being overwhelmed by anonymous requests from bots etc.
Wait really? I bought it when it entered beta. Do I not own it anymore?
You won’t soon if you don’t migrate your account
Well that’s some bs. I haven’t played in a while but the principle of it still bothers me. Especially since I’d have never known if not for reading this thread.
