FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up slow GitHub clone and download speeds in restricted networks?▼

To speed up GitHub clone and download speeds, you can use a proxy service like githubproxy.cc by prefixing your GitHub URLs to route traffic through an acceleration proxy for faster access.

What is the best way to download GitHub release files when access is unstable?▼

Downloading GitHub release files reliably involves using a dedicated proxy to bypass network constraints, applying a URL conversion script to generate proxy links for archived content and raw files.

Can I use a proxy URL conversion script for CI pipelines with limited GitHub performance?▼

Yes, you can use the URL conversion script in CI pipelines to automatically generate proxy links, improving the reliability and speed of cloning repositories or retrieving raw files.

Does the githubproxy.cc acceleration method work for accessing raw files and archived content?▼

Yes, the githubproxy.cc acceleration method works for accessing raw files and archived content by applying a small URL conversion script to produce proxy links that bypass network limitations.

What should I do if the githubproxy.cc proxy fails during a repository clone?▼

If the githubproxy.cc proxy fails during a repository clone, you should switch to the backup ghfast.top proxy service, applying the same URL prefixing technique to restore your download or clone workflow.
