How to Bypass Slow GitHub Access with the FastGit Mirror
If GitHub is loading slowly or failing to connect, you can quickly restore reliable access by switching to the FastGit mirror site, which works for browsing, downloading, and cloning repositories.
Recently, many users have experienced intermittent or extremely slow access to GitHub, sometimes being unable to open the site at all.
A simple solution is to use a mirror website, which can resolve the issue instantly.
Most commonly used mirror site: https://hub.fastgit.org
To use the mirror, replace the original GitHub URL prefix https://github.com with https://hub.fastgit.org in the address bar.
For example, to access the project https://github.com/yidao620c/python3-cookbook , change the URL to https://hub.fastgit.org/yidao620c/python3-cookbook.
All standard operations, including viewing files, downloading archives, and cloning the repository, work without issues.
This method has been stable over the past few days; if you cannot reach GitHub, try the FastGit mirror right away.
