@noboilerplate@namtao.com i hoped i can do the same thing with copilot but it showed a text entry instead, sad

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

@noboilerplate Very nice. (Can confirm that it works.)

@noboilerplate Thank you for posting this.

It also stops claude from making issues or PRs on any of your repos.
I consider this a bonus.
@noboilerplate @robb too bad we can’t do Copilot and Codex’s usernames too…

@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.

(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
