In a win for developers in Iran, code collaboration platform GitHub said today that it\u2019s opening up its services for the country again<\/a> after several months. In July 2019, the Microsoft-owned service blocked access for users in the country due to trade restrictions imposed by the US government<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GitHub\u2018s CEO, Nat Friedman, said the firm has finally got a nod from the government to resume its services in Iran:<\/p>\n

\n

We have secured a license from the US government to offer GitHub to developers in Iran. This includes all services for individuals and organizations, private and public, free and paid.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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. At last, it received permission to resume services this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

GitHub wasn\u2019t the only company to block its services in Iran. In August 2019, Amazon also removed access to its cloud infrastructure for developers and companies based in Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we reported later in 2019, Iranian developers faced really tough times<\/a> as they struggled to find hosting services due to the US sanctions. 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

Hopefully, other companies will follow GitHub\u2019s path, and allow developers in Iran to use their services again.<\/p>\n
