> GNU Make’s source code is available from Github repository

It's not GitHub, it's Savannah, as just linked literally 2 lines below :

> http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=make

The author already changed the link (as mentioned below). On that note that---with some GNU projects use GitHub as a mirror---GitHub fails GNU's ethical repository criteria for hosts:

https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria.html

Do you know which features of github that require javascript? Would be interesting to know from a noscript perspective.

Off the top of my head:

- changing repo's description

- changing repo's homepage URL

- changing default branch

- (un)protecting a branch

- editing an issue comment

- adding files to a release

- removing files from a release

- removing a release

- renaming repo

- removing repo

- logging out

Most of these could be probably scripted via API, but I'm lazy...

Still better than Bitbucket, which won't you even log in with JS disabled.

Thanks for that list; I haven't checked to update in a while. :)

I haven't checked in some time, but this was the list I noticed a little while back:

jwilk's list below seems much more comprehensive.

Savannah is home to the core development team's repository. The author mentions this in the article. However, the source code is available in more than one place. With GNU projects, it is not uncommon.

That was a typo :)
