GitHub is offering a limited run of 1,000 CD-ROM copies of public repositories as a response to Sony's plan to stop producing PlayStation game discs in 2028. The company is allowing users to order a burned CD of their own public GitHub repo, which can be held in their hands and does not require a download. This offer is only available between July 2 and July 6, and each person is limited to one disc, with availability varying by country or region. The CDs are being presented as a way to physically own and keep code, with GitHub suggesting that users can lend them to friends or pass them on to their children. However, it is clear that this is a limited-time stunt and not a serious attempt to promote physical media. The company seems to be aware that many of the CDs will be lost or discarded, and is even acknowledging this in its marketing. Despite this, some of the CDs may become collector's items or be sold for money on eBay, particularly if they have unique numbers. The offer is being seen as a protest against the decline of physical media, but it is also being criticized as a potential source of e-waste. GitHub's move is being viewed as a lighthearted jab at Sony's decision, rather than a serious attempt to promote physical media. Overall, the offer is a unique and humorous response to the shift towards digital media, but its impact and significance are likely to be limited.
