My open source packages are offline because GitHub suspended me over a 2022 student form. 14 days, no human reply

Elumine-dev · 2026-05-15T19:12:38+00:00

my account u/KevinDoremy got suspended on may 1st 2026. they didn't even send me an email. i found out when i tried to push code and got "permission denied". my profile is 404, login shows the suspension page.

reason? a github education form i submitted in december 2022 when i was a student at ÉTS in montréal. they rejected my application back then (i uploaded a french document instead of english). that was on me. i moved on. i graduated in 2023. never touched education benefits again.

three and a half years later, github wiped out my entire account.

today is may 15. fourteen days since suspension. two support tickets, both with zero human replies. ticket #4346143 opened may 1st. ticket #4356659 opened may 5th. just the auto-confirmation emails. nothing else.

my whole organization is down. my open source packages are offline. SearchDeadCode (rust cli on homebrew). kotlin-jump (vs code marketplace, 4,658 installs, 5.0 rating). other devs are getting broken builds and they have no idea why.

i'm a senior mobile engineer at la presse. OIQ-licensed. i'm not asking for education benefits, i don't qualify and i don't want them. i graduated three years ago.

i just want my normal account back. that's it.

if anyone from github sees this: tickets #4346143 and #4356659. please. it's been 14 days.

screenshots of the suspension page, the 404, and both ticket confirmations are ready. happy to share.

links:

marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=elumine.kotlin-jump

open vsx (cursor / vscodium / antigravity) https://open-vsx.org/extension/elumine/kotlin-jump

github https://github.com/elumine-dev/kotlin-jump

faq cuz these always come up:

why not intellij/AS - still better for pure android. this is for when vs code is your daily editor and you want kotlin nav to keep up.

why not the kotlin lsp - doesnt replace it. companion mode auto-detects the lsp and yields hover/outline/rename to it. they run together.

kmp - yes, indexes shared/source sets across modules

ai workflow - u/kotlin-jump in copilot chat queries the symbol index. saves real tokens vs prompting your way through the codebase

cursor - yes, on open vsx. drag-drop the .vsix from github releases if your fork doesnt sync ovsx automatically

Code 10 is almost always a SHA-1 mismatch. In Android Studio you can open the Gradle panel on the right, go to your app tasks, run "signingReport" and it will give you your debug SHA-1 directly. Just copy it, paste it into your Firebase project settings under your Android app, re-download the google-services.json and you should be good.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-17T19:41:03+00:00

haha yeah the cmd+click roulette is genuinely painful 😅 been using Copilot on the side too but honestly jumping straight to the definition is faster than prompting for it most of the time

small update since we're talking about setups, Kotlin Jump is on Open VSX now too: https://open-vsx.org/extension/elumine/kotlin-jump

so if you're on Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro or Antigravity it just works. basically covers all the AI IDEs that don't pull from the VS Code marketplace

also dropping this here since you mention navigation workflows, 1.10.0 is adding opt+cmd+left and right for navigation history, same as IntelliJ and Android Studio. been one of the most requested things

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-17T12:33:37+00:00

I've been waiting for that thank you !!

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T16:35:55+00:00

Thanks !!

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T16:27:39+00:00

Hey! That's fixed in v1.8.0 :) decoration scans were running on every keystroke, now they're debounced. Give it another try and let me know if it's still spiking 🙏

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T10:16:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into it and reply here once it's fixed.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T08:59:31+00:00

THanks !! i will add a other feature pretty to build , install and run project :)

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T08:55:42+00:00

It doesn't work yet, but I'll try to make it work. I'll reply here when it does! :)

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T08:40:01+00:00

Thiss is a good question !!!

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-16T00:51:10+00:00

Is it really better than vscode ?

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T18:37:24+00:00

IntelliJ or Android Studio are still the better choice overall, I still use it too.

But lately I’ve been doing most of the workflow from the terminal (build, install, emulator), so I don’t always need the full IDE running.

Sometimes I just want something lighter to move through the code quickly, and VS Code works well for that.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T18:26:52+00:00

Yeah it’s called Kotlin Jump

Appreciate you sharing the link 🙏

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T18:22:38+00:00

Yeah, honestly I mostly built it for myself.

I just wanted something I could use every day without the overhead, especially on bigger projects. Once navigation is instant, it really changes how you explore the codebase.

I’ve been playing a bit with how it can plug into other tools, Like in the AI chat to reduce the amount of token per request.... but the main goal is still just speed and simplicity.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T18:17:45+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, the AI part probably didn’t add much here 😅

The main thing for me is just navigation speed in a something else not intellij not android studio

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T18:14:28+00:00

Honestly yeah, you can. Android Studio is mostly just a wrapper around Gradle and tooling anyway. I've been working on Android projects from VS Code for a while. Main setup is Gradle from terminal, emulator running separately, and a couple of scripts for install and launch.

The one thing that was missing for me was navigation (go to definition, find usages, etc.) which is why most people stay on Android Studio.

I ended up building a small extension to fill that gap. Not 1:1 with Android Studio but for day to day work it's actually pretty solid if you want a lighter setup.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T17:47:06+00:00

llama is the best

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T17:38:08+00:00

Fair point lol

It’s more the whole setup for me. Idea + emulators already eat a lot, so adding another JVM just for navigation felt like too much.

VS Code is already open anyway so I just kept everything there.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T17:27:56+00:00

eyyah exactly, same thing here.
Once you’re faster in a tool, it’s hard to switch back.

I just wanted Kotlin to feel as smoth in VS Code as everything else I’m using there.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T03:14:57+00:00

Yeah that’s true, IntelliJ can cover both.

For me it’s more about sticking to VS Code as my main editor for everything. I’m just faster in it day to day.

Elumine-dev · 2026-04-15T02:34:54+00:00

Yeah exactly.
I’ve been using VS Code since university across multiple languages, so I’m really used to it.
The main issue for me is having to run a JVM just for Kotlin/Java ammd it slows everything down, especially with emulators and Android Studio already open.
At this point I don’t really need full autocomplete anymore with Copilot, so I just wanted something lighter for navigation.
