How do I request a new feature to GitHub?

[Whydidthechickencrosstheroad]

Hello, I want to request a new feature to GitHub but I want it by email. Also, I don't mean by creating or requesting a issue or the pull request in the projects

GitHub primarily handles feature requests via issues in their official repositories, but if you want to request a feature by email, you can try the following options:

1. Email GitHub Support

You can send your feature request to GitHub’s official support email:
📧 [email protected]

Make sure to provide:

• A clear and concise subject (e.g., "Feature Request: [Feature Name]")
• A detailed explanation of the feature
• Why it would benefit users
• Any relevant examples

2. Contact GitHub via their Support Form

If email doesn’t work, you can also use their official support page:
🔗 GitHub Support

Select "Feature request" as the category and submit your request.

3. GitHub Feedback Discussion

GitHub sometimes considers feature requests through community discussions:
🔗 GitHub Community Discussions

It looks like your email was blocked due to a policy restriction, possibly because GitHub's support email doesn't accept direct feature requests via email anymore. Here are some alternative ways to contact GitHub regarding a feature request:

To Use GitHub's Official Feature Request Form

• GitHub Support Request
• There is an option to provide feedback

Contact GitHub via Twitter/X

You can also try reaching out to GitHub's official Twitter/X account:
@GitHub
They sometimes respond to feature requests or direct users to the right place.

Post on GitHub Community Discussions

GitHub encourages feature requests in GitHub Community Discussions:
GitHub Community

• Navigate to "Ideas" and create a new discussion about your request.

Reach Out via LinkedIn

If you want direct communication, you could try reaching out to GitHub employees via LinkedIn and message them about your request.

In the GitHub Support, the only options I see when I clicked on it (options) are "2FA issues", "Account or billing issues", "Copyright, trademark, or private information removal", "Report abuse or spam", "Changelog", "Enterprise Server Support", "Attach, detach, and reroute forks", "Request security history or audit logs", "Remove data a repository I own or controlled", "Remove a file I embedded in a comment", "Help with GitHub pages", "Restore deleted data", "Provide feedback", and "GitHub Education programs or benefits". For the video (so to prove it to you so I do not lie), here it is:

in this case, the best option available is "Provide feedback", as GitHub considers feedback for future improvements.
