GitHub Community Slack Channel
The Operations Engineering team also manages a Slack channel dedicated to all things GitHub under the name #github-community.
The aim of the channel is to provide the following:
A safe space for users to discuss anything and everything related to GitHub.
An avenue for Operations Engineering to provide news and updates from GitHub, including changes made by us.
A way to get feedback from our users to understand common pain points relating to GitHub.
A place for users to learn new skills and share interesting discoveries.
We only ask that requests related to access are kept to the #ask-operations-engineering channel in order for us to better track these types of requests.
