People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)
... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

Interesting that India has such a high percentage. I'm guessing it's because most of their network infrastructure is probably relatively new and so they can include support right off the bat, instead of having to retrofit stuff?
Not much choise i guess. Usa and europe grabbed the majority of available ipv4 space. Asia got a bit. And only scraps and leftovers for africa and latin america.
Yeah but then you look at China and it's at 4%. Maybe they got into the game early enough to get enough adress space for it to be serviceable?
Most of China can't reach Google so the reporting is off anyway. But in 2023 the govt mandated ipv6 support to all carriers and manufacturers.

China block much of the internet so who knows with china. Do not know if anyone have real china numbers of IPv6 deployment. They also had their own "IPv9" that was rumored some years ago that may or may not have been used internally.
