Microsoft-owned GitHub offers coders chance to put their work on a disc in response to Sony’s decision to kill physical media

While rumors are circulating that Microsoft, much like Sony, is planning to phase out physical media with its next console, a subsidiary of that company has other plans in mind. GitHub, arguably the most popular code repository on the web, is now offering coders a chance to put their public repos on physical discs and use them however they wish.

“In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM,” the company wrote on X. Code is notoriously small in size, and any repository should fit on a 700MB CD-ROM, though I reckon you’d also have the ability to burn it onto a Blu-Ray disc if your code is significantly larger.

We heard you. And we agree.

Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children.

Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it,… pic.twitter.com/p1qxqjmnfa
