GitHub 2022 Wrap

Not sure how I feel about the branding on this. It's not an official GitHub project, but sort of looks like one. I'm sure it's completely innocent, but I don't want to login to it.

What with the story yesterday of a GitHub user logging it a service, then having their account suspended, I'm a little nervous of this.

The "public access" login looks ok, but the "privet access" login is asking for almost full control of your GitHub account...

I suspect GitHub will ask them to change the name of this, at a minimum.

(If I wanted to phish a bunch of GitHub accounts, I think this looks like a good way to do it)

After that story (yesterday?) about someone being locked out of GitHub when using “sign in with Github” I was curious about this on. If you select “private” it requests permissions to change your profile and add / remove followers.

You can get the stats with a simple query to ClickHouse Playground. Example:

No need for a tool with a sign-in requirement.

No thanks!

This completely missed my most contributed to (public) repository. Hmm...

EDIT oh! The data streams in. Had to wait a bit more and refresh to not get a partial result.

I always wanted spotify wrapped for my Github! This is a great project.

Does Github still not have read-only repo access?
