This includes all services for individuals and organizations, private and public, free and paid.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that while the company complied with sanctions over the past months, it tried to reach a solution with the US treasury department to allow open access of GitHub to countries with trade restrictions.\u00a0<span>At last, it received permission to resume services this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>GitHub wasn\u2019t the only company to block its services in Iran. In August 2019, Amazon also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mrphs\/status\/1157704631184756737\">removed access to its cloud infrastructure for developers and companies based in Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As we reported later in 2019, Iranian developers faced really tough times\u00a0as they struggled to find hosting services due to the US sanctions.\u00a0<span>Building their own solutions proved to be cumbersome and expensive, as equipment was hard to acquire<\/span>. Developers also found it hard to connect with others in the community as Slack, GitLab, and GitHub were banned along with a trove of other useful services.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, other companies will follow GitHub\u2019s path, and allow developers in Iran to use their services again.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
