How to connect to Github in China

With the popularity and use of Github among developers around the world, many domestic developers have also begun to use Github for software development and collaboration. However, due to certain restrictions on external network access, domestic developers also encountered some difficulties when using Github. This article will introduce how to connect to Github in China from the following aspects.

1. Choose a suitable network environment

In China, the speed of accessing foreign websites is often affected by the network environment. Developers can try the following measures to obtain a better network environment:

Use high-quality network service providers

Excellent network service providers usually have better stability and speed. A big advantage, so it can improve the efficiency of accessing Github. Some domestic cloud service providers such as Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud also provide relatively excellent network environments for developers to choose from.

2. Use Github China Mirror Station

Github China Mirror Station is a Github service provided by Chinese Internet companies. Its domestic access speed is faster and more stable. Currently, the more commonly used Chinese mirror sites are:

1.GitHub official Chinese mirror site

2.GitHub accelerator

To use Github Chinese mirror site, developers still need to Github login authentication, but for warehouse cloning, merging and other operations, Github China Mirror Station provides faster and more stable services.

3. Use other Git hosting platforms

Although Github is the world's largest Git hosting platform, it is not the only choice. There are also many Git hosting platforms similar to Github in China, such as Code Cloud, Gitlab, etc. These platforms also have good advantages in terms of user experience and cost performance. By registering these platform accounts, developers can still carry out development work well.

4. Avoid using Github specific domain names

In order to break through network restrictions, Github usually uses CDN nodes, and each node has a specific domain name. Some network censorship software will block specific domain names, so developers are advised to avoid using these domain names and use Github's IP address instead of the domain name for login and other operations.

5. Pay attention to compliance issues

In China, network censorship and supervision are very strict, so developers need to pay attention to whether the content on Github complies with Chinese laws and relevant regulations. If the regulations are violated, users may face adverse consequences such as account ban and database deletion.

Summary

It is not easy to connect to Github in China, but developers can break through network restrictions through the above aspects and carry out development work more smoothly. At the same time, in order to ensure the safe use of Github, we also need to pay attention to compliance issues.
