Github.com can be reached using some AWS IP addresses, as well as some Microsoft Corporation IP addresses, and who knows what others. But one can also still use original GitHub, Inc. IP addresses on AS36459. I only use the AS36459 addresses for github.com.

Here are some Github, Inc. (AS36459) IP addresses for github.com

   140.82.112.3
   140.82.112.4
   140.82.113.3
   140.82.113.4
   140.82.114.3
   140.82.114.4
   140.82.121.3
   140.82.121.4
   192.30.255.112
   192.30.255.113

What, do you update your hosts file or control dns through pihole in order to achieve the selective A recs?

I have a RPi but I run NetBSD on it, not PiHole. AFAIK PiHole is just a modified dnsmasq and I dislike dnsmasq. I always used djbdns, never dnsmasq. Today, I use a custom root.zone loaded in nsd and a loopback bound forward proxy that stores the IP addresses for all the websites I visit in RAM. nsd listening on a loopback address just substitutes for a firewall rule directing traffic to the proxy. I use the HOSTS file for FTP server addresses.

These github.com addresses I listed are static for years at a time. As such, there is nothing to "update".
