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.
Some examples of open-source projects created by Iranian developers:
