GitHub should absolutely support IPv6, but until then... transip.eu provide IPv6 addresses which transparently proxy to github.com: https://www.transip.eu/knowledgebase/5277-using-transip-gith...

You'll need to update your DNS server to include those as AAAA records.

Do providers like NextDNS or RethinkDNS allow these sorts of overrides?

>The Github IPv6 Proxy can only be used for traffic to Github using a VPS from TransIP which uses IPv6.

Not on the resolver, but on the Android client (Rethink DNS + Firewall) we do (if enabled) manipulate DNS answers to implement an opportunistic 464xlat (over Kasper Dupont's public relays [0]).
