GitHub just broken Homebrew, Bazel, Spack and Conan package managers

https://github.blog/changelog/2023-01-30-git-archive-checksu...

The default compression for Git archives has recently changed. As result, archives downloaded from GitHub may have different checksums even though the contents are completely unchanged.

GitHub doesn't guarantee the stability of checksums for automatically generated archives. These are marked with the words "Source code (zip)" and "Source code (tar.gz)" on the Releases tab. If you need to rely on a consistent checksum, you may upload archives directly to GitHub Releases. These are guaranteed not to change.

Change was reverted, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34586917

People depending on github is the problem, if it breaks then the whole world breaks, that's a huge problem, here is the proof

This isn't really GitHubs fault.
