... or the shoemaker's children go barefoot?

I would like to fix some styling & have an idea for the feature (and a lot of free time) but I cannot find any github.com page on github.com.

    No, GitHub is not open source.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about business decisions and contributing to a third party.

GitHub isn't open-source, but you can apply your ideas on an (open-source) GitHub-look-alike:

GitLab

A ruby application with its source code here).
They accept suggestions and pull requests

gogs.io (less active than gitea)

Update 2015: you also have other GitHub-look-alike in Go:

gitea.com

    "GitHub isn't open-source, because they have a commercial offer based on it" seems to imply that you can't charge for open source software, but actually they could open source it and continue to have a commercial offering, if they wanted.

  • What about Gitea, which is based on gogs?CommentedNov 25, 2021 at 1:28

    @TheTechRobo36414519 Good point. I am using gitea myself at work at the moment. It wasn't created in 2014, when I originally wrote that answer. I have edited it to include gitea.

They seem to have some open source code but not the entire code base.
