Comment on Git.io no longer accepts new URLs

Comments

Wow, git.io was the first product I found a vulnerability and sent a responsible disclosure, more than 10 years ago.

They used to have a nice thank you page, but they got rid of it when they rolled out their bug bounty program.

I wonder if this means git.io short links will be going away, I still use mine on my CV and elsewhere.

From the announcement:

Existing URLs will continue to be accessible

Yeah but for how long?

That's like Google saying "G Suite Legacy will continue to be free..."

Also from the announcement :

“.. but we encourage using one of the many URL shortening services that are available, instead of git.io, as we will be deprecating the tool in the future.”
