Edit: Thanks for your kind comments on disabling contributions. I’m aware of the possibility, this is just a meme.

Contributions in open source projects are great, needed and make the world a better place after all. Therefore they should be declined politely, optionally by giving a reason.

I hereby inform you that I will no longer accept contributions to this post /s.

    You can turn issues and PRs off on GitHub though.

    Unless replying rudely to PRs is exactly what you want to do. Then you do you.

      I do feel like putting an intentional, obvious, but non-issue causing bug in a code base now. Make a contrib guide. Mention needing to read the docs first and check previous issues/discussions first, and make a closed ticket explaining that that bug is nothing but an example bug and that will ban anyone that attempts to fix or report it.

      No you can’t. The only way to turn off PRs on a public repo is to migrate away from GitHub.
