    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

    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.

  • On April 7, 2022, a threat actor obtained access to a Heroku database
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 May 2022
    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.

  • No, "Open Source" does not mean "Includes Free Support"

    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

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