employee nukes github org as he gets laid off
an angry employee deleted the whole GitHub organisation / repos of his company out of spite as he gets fired ;_;
This has affected the production servers as well.
what would be the repercussions for that employee for pulling off something like this.
Lmfao. He might have trouble finding a job though as more people find out about this. My guy is never getting repo permissions again 😔
He is probably never getting a job again
That might lead to a startup of his own😂
Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem like a huge catastrophe to me. Devs would have these repos cloned locally, so there is no code lost. I understand it would be quite inconvenient to gather all of the latest commits for all repos, but shouldn't be too bad ig. Also, how does deleting GitHub repos affect prod servers?
they had ci/cd pipelines setup in a way that code is directly pulled from GitHub then it's built/compiled, those deployments broke everything in place
Yes, i understand that is standard. But these pipelines get triggered either manually or on new commits, right? Deleting the repo, would just cause the pipeline to either not get triggered, or fail. In either case, the running servers shouldn't be affected, right?
