GitHub makes this unnecessarily worse by refusing to let you disable Pull Requests like one can disable the other social features (Wiki etc) of a repository: https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/84

The workaround is to use GH Actions to auto-close PRs: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/repo-lockdown

There is no way to disable pull requests on GitHub. Only some weird work-arounds for auto-closing them with Actions

> don't let people waste their time creating issues in the first place

But then you don't get to use issues to track things that you personally care about. It would be nice if there were a way to enable issue creation by the repo owner / maintainers, but disallow it for the public at large. Especially now that "discussions" are a thing, which gives a place for people to comment without implicitly requesting work from the maintainer.

Apparently this is sort of possible[1] by setting `blank_issues_enabled: false`, so that you can only create issues from the Project page.

last I've seen the Oauth permissions for the Heroku Dashboard given by Github are excessive and include write access to all public repos - as read-only is not an option if I recall correctly, see https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/113#issuec...

Newer integrations like Github Apps are more granular and can restrict the scope , also ssh deploy keys are an option for other purposes, but specifically the tokens issued for the Heroku Dashboard can write to the public repos of a user or org.

Without active triage and maintenance, such a list would quickly become useless. Let's look at just one example that's not even for an open source project: https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/214

Found these ways to submit bug to github: https://support.github.com/contact/feedback https://support.github.com/request https://github.com/isaacs/github#if-you-have-an-issue-or-feature-request-for-github https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github [email protected] Submitting tickets using an enterprise account

You're right, likely the OP thought PRs were included in settings where you can disable issues or wikis

Next let’s get hosting! Go to https://railway.app/ and create an account. Now create a new project and select your repo:

Welcome 👋 to this blog. Do you want to host or deploy your flask web server on the production completely free and want to access different production features like configuring environment variables, choose a different version of frameworks or language, etc.? Then you are in the correct place. In this blog, I'll show how to deploy/host a Flask web server in Railway.

Railway is a platform that provides hosting solutions for full-stack web applications. It offers developers an easy way to deploy and manage their applications without worrying about infrastructure management. it also supports various programming languages, frameworks, and databases, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. it also simple to use and it also has a free tier which is has a little benefit than Render.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a term that captures tools built for developers to use where they don’t need devops engineers to deploy to the cloud. Heroku was the “category-defining” product here, and modern successors include Vercel, Render, Railway, Replit, platform.sh, Aptible, Northflank, and more. We have to say that there are some amazing products in this category. Developer Experience is at a premium!

Railway is a platform that allows you to easily deploy web apps and APIs. It offers a free tier of $5 worth of free usage per month when you sign up.

So this is what I did 1. Connected to the POSTGRES database on railway.app. 2. Ran first migration command for Django (after initiating project) 3. Removed the Entire DataBase on Railway (to see how Django responds) 4. Created a New Database again on the railway.app 5. Updated the variables for new DB credentials in Django 6. After Running the DEVELOPMENT server, I Found the Session Table Missing Error 7. Tried MAKE MIGRATIONS command, result (No changes detected)

Another question is around railway.app. Would the hobby plan be enough for such a kind of website ? its 5$/month and contains ssl cert, and easy github PR deploys, which would make it quite interesting for me .

Railway is a serverless platform that makes it easy to deploy and manage applications and databases. It offers a variety of features, including automatic scaling, high availability, and support for a variety of programming languages and frameworks.

The Server and Postgres Database are hosted on https://railway.app, with the client on Netlify.com’s free tier.
