GitHub should absolutely support IPv6, but until then... transip.eu provide IPv6 addresses which transparently proxy to github.com: https://www.transip.eu/knowledgebase/5277-using-transip-gith...

You'll need to update your DNS server to include those as AAAA records.

Do providers like NextDNS or RethinkDNS allow these sorts of overrides?

Not on the resolver, but on the Android client (Rethink DNS + Firewall) we do (if enabled) manipulate DNS answers to implement an opportunistic 464xlat (over Kasper Dupont's public relays [0]).
