“Mitchell Hashimoto is moving the Ghostty project off GitHub, citing repeated outages and Microsoft’s deprioritization of the platform.”
The guy who built the company most dependent on GitHub for a decade just walked away. The reasoning is simple. GitHub has had eight separate multi-hour outages in the last year, the AI integration is mandatory, and the issue tracker is now a Copilot product. Hashimoto picked Tangled, a federated alternative. Codeberg and SourceHut just got a recruiting pitch they did not have to write.
