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

          Thanks, this saved me from writing a tool to check repositories for their vibe code potential. People who block `claude` might also be interested in blocking `cursoragent` @noboilerplate

                @noboilerplate Annoyingly, this doesn't seem to work if `claude` was tagged as a co-author: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/546345c8f708bdadc2b3124ddb458673ae34c63d

                      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)

                                        @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.

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

                                          I consider this a bonus.

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