GitHub failed to upload a file

Bug

Body

I'm trying to report an issue on a GItHub project. The issue requires a screenshot or recording of the bug. I recorded a video of it, but it keeps saying it failed to upload it. It can't be an unsupported file type since it's a .mov file, and I made sure those are supported

🌐 镜像上传权限问题解决方案 | Mirror Upload Permission Solution

📌 问题现象 | Symptom

上传文件到镜像站点（如 'kk'github.com）时失败，大概率是 镜像加速域名无上传权限 导致。

Uploading files to a mirror site (e.g., 'kk'github.com) fails, most likely due to lack of upload permissions for the mirror acceleration domain.

---

✅ 正确操作步骤 | Correct Steps

1️⃣ 上传文件时使用原始域名

不要使用镜像域名（如 'kk'github.com），请直接访问 原始官方域名 github.com 进行文件上传操作。

When uploading files, do not use the mirror domain (e.g., 'kk'github.com). Instead, directly access the official original domain github.com to perform the upload.

🎯 关键点：镜像站点通常仅支持加速浏览/下载，不具备完整的写入（上传/提交）权限。

🎯 Key Point: Mirror sites usually only support accelerated browsing/downloading, and do not have full write (upload/commit) permissions.

---

2️⃣ 检查域名配置

确保你在上传文件时，浏览器地址栏或工具配置中使用的域名是 github.com，而不是镜像域名（如 'kk'github.com）。检查配置项中的远程仓库地址（Remote URL）是否正确指向官方源。

Ensure that the domain name used in your browser's address bar or tool configuration is github.com, not the mirror domain (e.g., 'kk'github.com). Verify that the remote repository URL in your settings correctly points to the official source.

🔍 操作提示：可通过 git remote -v 命令查看当前配置的远程仓库地址。

🔍 Tip: Use the git remote -v command to check the currently configured remote repository URL.

---

3️⃣ 完成上传后切回镜像域名

文件上传并操作完成后，如果你希望继续使用镜像站点加速浏览，可以切换回镜像域名（如 'kk'github.com）。

After completing the file upload and related operations, if you wish to continue using the mirror site for accelerated browsing, you can switch back to the mirror domain (e.g., 'kk'github.com).

💡 建议：日常浏览或下载依赖包时使用镜像加速，上传/提交代码等写操作务必使用原始域名。

💡 Suggestion: Use the mirror for daily browsing or downloading dependencies, but always use the original domain for write operations like uploading/committing code.

---

🛠️ 补充说明 | Additional Notes

• 镜像加速原理：镜像站点通过缓存机制加速资源的访问，但通常 不具备完整的 Git 写入权限，尤其是涉及文件上传、提交、推送等操作。

  Mirror Acceleration Principle: Mirror sites accelerate resource access through caching mechanisms, but usually do not have full Git write permissions, especially for operations involving file uploads, commits, and pushes.

• 权限限制：GitHub 的官方策略可能限制第三方镜像站点的写入能力，以确保代码仓库的安全与一致性。

  Permission Restrictions: GitHub's official policies may restrict the write capabilities of third-party mirror sites to ensure the security and consistency of code repositories.

• 推荐做法：始终优先使用 github.com 进行代码的上传与管理，镜像站点仅作为访问加速的辅助工具。

  Recommended Practice: Always prioritize using github.com for code uploads and management, with mirror sites serving only as auxiliary tools for access acceleration.

📝 总结 | Summary

操作环节	使用域名	原因
文件上传 / 代码提交 / 推送更改	github.com（原始域名）	具备完整写入权限，确保操作成功
代码浏览 / 下载 / 克隆（只读）	'kk'github.com（镜像域名） 或 其他官方镜像	加速访问，提升下载速度
Operation	Domain to Use	Reason
----------	--------------	--------
File Upload / Code Commit / Push Changes	github.com (Original Domain)	Has full write permissions to ensure successful operations
Code Browsing / Download / Clone (Read-Only)	'kk'github.com (Mirror Domain) or Other Official Mirrors	Accelerates access and improves download speed

✅ 记住：上传文件时 别用镜像域名，用原始域名 github.com；上传完成后，切回镜像域名 继续享受加速服务。

✅ Remember: When uploading files, do not use the mirror domain; use the original domain github.com. After uploading, switch back to the mirror domain to continue enjoying accelerated services.
