Why the account has been flagged

LinkedIn announced that they shut down the GitHub application, as of 26 November 2012. Now, LinkedIn only offers this, for sharing from Github:

You still have the option to share your code from GitHub on LinkedIn by sharing links on your homepage or in groups.

In other words, you can share links from Github the same way that you share links from anywhere else online. That is just the same old, manual feature as in the past.

GitHub storage limits as of Sep 2015

Per repository git file: 100 MB (strict)

GitHub will warn you when pushing files larger than 50 MB. You will not be allowed to push files larger than 100 MB.

https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-large-files/#conditions-for-large-files

Per repository: ~1 GB (recommended)

We recommend repositories be kept under 1GB each. This limit is easy to stay within if large files are kept out of the repository. If your repository exceeds 1GB, you might receive a polite email from GitHub Support requesting that you reduce the size of the repository to bring it back down.

Per repository binary release file: 2 GB (strict)

We don't limit the total size of your binary release files, nor the bandwidth used to deliver them. However, each individual file must be under 2GB in size.

Per account: No limit

GitHub doesn't have any set disk quotas. We try to provide abundant storage for all Git repositories, within reason.

GitHub large file support (filesize >100 MB)

GitHub supports large file storage for all Git repositories with Git LFS — a new, open-source Git extension.

An outline for the development, originally called GitHub Asset Management System, a large file asset management system for GitHub:

• 22 Sep 2013 -- committed to GitHub.
• 08 Apr 2015 -- Large file support for GitHub was announced and early access made available.
• 01 Oct 2015 -- git-lfs is released to all accounts, large files are supported for free up to 1 GB per account and a monthly bandwidth quota of 1 GB. Higher quotas are available for purchase.

GitHub bandwidth limits

Repository git files bandwidth limit: not significantly greater than average GitHub user

If your bandwidth usage significantly exceeds the average bandwidth usage (as determined solely by GitHub) of other GitHub customers, we reserve the right to immediately disable your account or throttle your file hosting until you can reduce your bandwidth consumption.

GitHub Terms of Service section G item 12

Repository binary release files bandwidth limit: No limit

We don't limit the total size of your binary release files, nor the bandwidth used to deliver them. However, each individual file must be under 2GB in size.
