GitHub announced that its abbreviated location service Git.io will stop redirecting on April 29. This means that Git.io abbreviations will not find the source URL after this date. GitHub recommends that developers using Git.io update their links immediately. URL shortening services were once very popular and were convenient for sharing URLs on social networks, but relying on URL shortening services with low usage rates would cause these shortened URLs to become dead links after the service was stopped. Git.io, GitHub’s shortened address service, entered read-only mode in January this year due to its low usage rate, and terminated the service on April 29.
