Hi CEO of GitHub.
You "hacked" yourself. A majority of commits are not "verified", and a majority of users don't know to "look for" the verified label. Why didn't you make signing mandatory if you recommend it?
As for repercussions to your mismanagement, I will certainly stay tuned.
In summary: you're fucked.
- jfrunyon 6y agoBecause the vast majority of their users don't want (or need, really) to bother with setting up GPG, making a key, adding their key to their account, etc. Also, if users don't know the very basics of how Git works, they probably shouldn't be using it, and certainly not trusting it.
- hashtagmarkup 6y agoYou're right... the vast majority of users should certainly no longer trust github.
- jfrunyon 6y agoPlease let me know when you figure out how your complaint is in any way specific to GitHub, as opposed to git in general.
- hashtagmarkup 6y agoMy personal git isn't used by millions of people, as opposed to github.com that is used by millions of people in general.
- robertlagrant 6y agoYour personal git isn't relevant to the question.
- hashtagmarkup 6y agoThat is the whole point... it's different. Which is why it IS relevant.
- jfrunyon 6y agoNobody is talking about your "personal git" (I assume you mean your personal git repository). We are talking about two software programs: git, and GitHub. Both are ABSOLUTELY used by millions of people.
