@mcc will be nice to see if many repos don't use claude

That is just a trick to get people sign up for ShitHub and login.

@mcc I actually built the feature that warns you about blocked users, back when I worked for Github for a minute. Could not have predicted this use case!

@mcc @mardor can't i do this on mobile view? I can't find such button/menu ...

@mcc

I just chuckled inside

@micha
There is a tiny link at the left, below the achievements, no button.

@mcc top tip, done. Thanks!

@micha @mcc @mardor it's there for me in mobile FireFox on Android, it's a text link under the follower count, not a menu item.

Brad Martin

@mcc done, although in the process of blundering around looking for the block button I have apparently inadvertently opted into copilot ‍️

mcc

@bmartin427 github is basically now a website-sized dark pattern to opt you into copilot without your knowledge

@mcc Thanks!

Aho

@mcc those a good way to figure out bad code...

micha

@mardor @mcc wow didn't catch that. Thx!

beem

@mcc oh great idea actually, it means we can do a double take on a project's reliability

Martin Hamilton, WHY -> Wye

@CoralineAda @mcc Thank you so much for this, Coraline - you may have just saved humanity!

Hmmm. Perhaps we could use the GH API to give us an early warning when a much loved codebase is compromised. Maybe starting with something like this:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  "https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=is:pr+is:merged+author:claude&per_page=100&page=1" \
  | jq -r '.items[].repository_url | sub("https://api.github.com/repos/";"")' \
  | sort \
  | uniq -c

This gets us a very lazyweb list of recently infected repos, although there are only ten results returned, with no pagination. That's a bit less than the 2.3 million commits reported in the web UI

      1 biner88/chart_sparkline
      1 davidray/twitter-bootstrap-calendar
      1 laudspeaker/laudspeaker
      1 ripienaar/free-for-dev
      4 segmentio/action-destinations
      2 uptech/flutter_app_analytics
      (etc)

Also author:claude is of course but one vector for the hungry ghosts...

@mcc amazing tip

Taffer 🇨🇦 :godot:

@mcc Does anyone know if this is triggered by Clod opening a PR or Issue, or is it actual merged commits?

oheso

@mcc Signed in specifically to do this. Thanks.

mcc

@Taffer merged commits seems to be the only possibility that makes sense, but Microsoft is very mysterious?

val

@Taffer @mcc It happens when people tell Claude Code to commit their changes and allow it to set --author or Co-Authored-By.
The @claude account itself doesn't seem to be doing anything.
