    Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.

      It also stops claude from making issues or PRs on any of your repos.

      I consider this a bonus.

                                @noboilerplate I wish we could have obvious labels for all this stuff people are passing off as their own. Pretty soon, we're going to start using the same garbage in new garbage.

                                    @tiredbun @alice @noboilerplate Worse than that: they appear to only do that if the viewer is logged out last I checked, so the maintainer can't easily see that GitHub is disparaging them by claiming copilot's involvement. (I could see that working out rather poorly for them in certain countries with strong anti-defamation laws if the maintainer is "particularly vocal" about not using it)

                                          PSA: If you block the `claude` user on GitHub, you'll get a warning every time you view a repo with that user in its commit history.

                                          Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.

                                          You may do so here: https://github.com/settings/blocked_users

                                          That's a great trick. Thank you.
