Can't Star a repo or a file in Github - github

I'm on an Enterprise License and for some unknown reason, I can't star any repo or file. When I click on Star, the following message appears: You can't perform that action at this time.
I haven't been able to find resource online to solve this issue. Has anyone ran into this scenario before?

Ok so I found a way to make it work. I created a list and then stared the repo that I wanted to that list. It is a strange case because I didn't have to do it this way before on other accounts. However, this solves it for me. Just wanted to post the answer in case someone else runs into similar scenario.

Github pull request issue "This comparison is taking too long to generate" with project using RASA framework

I have this issue when I try to merge my branch to the main one for my RASA chatbot project and I want to know if there are any ways to fix this and create a pull request or should I just change my main branch to the domain-side branch
Ok so I fixed the issue by deleting the .rasa cache folder
This can occur when there are a lot of commits in your Pull Request
Unfortunately, this is a known github issue.
Thanks for writing to GitHub support and sorry for the trouble!
We have received a few similar reports regarding big pull requests. I can confirm that our team is working on fixing this problem, and I've added your report to that issue.
Unfortunately I won't be able to provide an estimated time on when this might get fixed. We know this is not ideal, but hope you understand.
Is there anything we can do to preserve our comments and alleviate this issue now and in the future?
You should be able to use our API to get a copy of the comments in this pull request:
https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/comments/#list-comments-on-a-pull-request
https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/reviews/#list-reviews-on-a-pull-request
If you have any question regarding using API we can definitely offer more detailed instructions.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if there's anything you can do on your part to view this pull request normally.
One thing you could try is viewing this PR in Incognito window or logged out.
I was actually able to view the PR you linked because I don't have write access to this repository, so GitHub will try to load less things for me such as edit buttons and so on. Of course this won't allow you to merge the pull request and so on, but perhaps it would help for you to look at its content?
Lastly, while we are working on consistently supporting large pull requests, you might consider keeping pull requests relatively short for now to avoid running into this again.
I hope this helps clear things up, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Please refer to the full discussion provided here.

How to let user submit issue directly to Github

I use github issues a lot. Is there any way that i could put a form of some sort on my Laravel project that a user can fill out and it will automatically submit an issue to Github? (without them going to github.com and having to sign in) I have looked for packages but can't find anything. The closest thing i could find was this repo. Users could submit issues to a CSV file and occasionally i could export it to Github, but there has to be a better way. Anyone ever done this?
Thanks.

Check-in using GitHub

I am checking out code using GitHub client for Windows. When I press "clone" button in browser, it looks like I have a local copy. However, there are a few files that GitHub is asking me to commit. Now, I have not even made any changes to anything on my local. So why is it asking me to "commit"?
Can anyone tell me why I am facing this problem. Also, are there any good GitHub tutorials to follow?
Thanks in advance,
There is a great github tutorial here, that should get you started with the basics: http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/.

github: Not sure what it means to add #personname on the body of the issue

Someone asked me to do this: create an issue on your repository and add our Github handles to the issue body (#name1 and #name2) so we can review your submission.
I used the github software on windows7 and uploaded my source, then went to github.com and created an issue, and then added the above to what I believe is the "issue body."
I believe I've done it correctly, but given github's wierd lingual and it's unintuitive use, I have some doubts. I even had issue signing up an account with them as it gave no errors what was wrong. needless to say, github has been really irritating.
Please see this image and let me know if this is done correctly:

Thank you.

Can I change the state of Github Issue? Open > Needs Verification > Closed

It would be really great to have a Github issue be in an intermediary "Resolved" state before I close the issue.
Right now, I have a "Resolved" label and I manually select the issue and change it's label on the web after I commit. Is there a way I can do this from the commit message?
I am sure this is a common problem. How do you guys solve this?
I have never used Github API but can this be done using the API If I were to do this myself?
Since September 14, 2016 you could manage your states with projects. See image below:
Reference and source: GitHub - A whole new GitHub Universe: announcing new tools, forums, and features.
I know it's not like a new state like "needs verification" because you can't like #NevikRehnel said in his answer. But you could make a column named "open", "needs verification" and "closed" and all the issues can you list in correct column.
No, Github issues only support two states (open and closed). Any other "states" must be realized via labels, as you are already doing right now.
And as of right now, there is no way to apply labels from commit messages.
You can always request such features from Github support of course, and they might be implemented at some point.
You can manage this problem using this method : Adding and reassigning github issues via commit message.
A simple ruby script will run on each commit, and check the commit message looking for ~myLabel and =assignedMember to update correctly the issue.
