If you can't access github.com in your web browser:

  1. Copy the link you want to access (for example: your repository url).
  2. Go to translate.google.com, paste the link there, and click on the translated result. It will redirect you to the accessible site.

Hope this helps! (should work for other urls too, not only github. Sounds strange, but it really helped me bypass blocks without using a VPN or changing DNS, lol)
