# Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub

**[Mitchell Hashimoto](https://daily.dev/sources/mitchellh)** · 4 min read · 8 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Mitchell Hashimoto, GitHub user #1299 and creator of Vagrant and Ghostty, announces that the Ghostty terminal emulator project will be migrating away from GitHub. After 18+ years of daily GitHub use, he cites near-daily outages — including GitHub Actions disruptions — as making serious development work impossible. He expresses deep personal attachment to GitHub while acknowledging the platform is no longer reliable enough for the project. A read-only mirror will remain at the current GitHub URL, and details about the new hosting platform (commercial or FOSS) will be shared in coming months.
