This is btw the ASN of GitHub: https://bgp.he.net/AS36459#_asinfo

From the peering tab I would guess that they use Telia, NTT, Verizon and Level3 as transit providers, the others seem to be regular peerings. Transit-wise it seems to be a good mix.

They are very focused on the NA market, seems to be Europe is not really relevant or important for them, otherwise they would operate a PoP there and peer at the biggest internet exchanges of the world (DE-CIX, AMS-IX, LINX) to improve their network quality.

Sadly they don't care and the traffic is really bad when america is waking up here... (Paris, France)

~100kb/s for cloning large projects is killing me sometimes

Location doesn't matter as much as your ISP. If GitHub would have a peering with your ISP or'd buy transit from them the speed would be way better, even from Europe to the west coast.
