      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.

            Copilot reportedly can appear in participant list for PRs despite never partucipating in which may cause false alarms with that approach.

            @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)

                        @noboilerplate@namtao.com It's pretty easy to move to something better like Codeberg. Git is a free and distributed version management system after all. All you have to do is "git push" to a new repo and your entire history is there.

                          @noboilerplate Funny, but the end result is that you're still using github.

                            @noboilerplate this only "protects" you against people who are lazy enough to even ask claude to commit for them, most people are not using that, so you can still have something fully vibecoded with claude and no signs of this user in the repo 🤷‍♂️
