Context:

People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)

... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

Interesting, github websites/pages support ipv6

github.com doesn't have a AAAA DNS entry. So it's not serving anything directly over IPv6. Likewise, ping -6 github.com fails. So, what are you seeing that is supporting ipv6?

Websites hosted by github pages, like https://2009scape.org or https://pytorch.github.io

That is interesting. I figured they would be something like cloudflare/other redirection for github pages. But the IPv6 address space is github registered.

So, really not sure why they don't have the rest of their site enabled.
