Github Must Be a Free Platform

alt text

Introduction

Github has been a free platform for everyone since many years ago. But recently, it decided to restrict Iranian accounts. We believe living in a country is not a choice, but being a developer and contributing to the open-source community is. Github has restricted our freedom to contribute and to be a part of the open-source ecosystem, because we live in Iran.

Github blocked our private repositories without warning us, and now we have no access to our codes.

We believe having a simple Github page is a basic right for all users. Please don't make us leave the open-source community.
