Response from Martin Woodward, GitHub's VP of Developer Relations:

Sorry for the inconvenience @koepnick - while searching across all repos has required being logged in for a long time, when we enhanced the search capabilities earlier in the 2023 we had to extend this to repos as well (see https://github.blog/changelog/2023-06-07-code-search-now-requires-login/).

This is primarily to ensure we can support the load for developers on GitHub and help protect the servers from being overwhelmed by anonymous requests from bots etc.

I migrated a few code repositories from Github to GitLab literally the same day it was announced that Microsoft was acquiring Github.

The only regret I have is not evaluating a few other options like Codeberg or whatever. But GitLab's much better than Github.

Gitlab requiring a phone number verified account to report bugs kinda turned me off of that platform. Never used Codeberg but heard good things.

I don't have a (usable) phone number.

I've reported bugs.

I've contributed code.

How did I skate?

Codeberg is awesome, it's just like github but open source and self-hostable (forgejo)
