Github does a great job of indexing your content on Google.
Also, the fact that the code is hosted on Github is, for me personally, a good indication that the code is probably valid. I have never, so far, pulled a package which source code was not on Github.

Every single time I compare search inside github vs outside (google, ddg, anything), the difference is massive towards more and better results from github itself.
- robinhood 6y agoI’m not talking about the search inside Github, but indexing your work on the search engines. All my code, through a search on Google, appears on the top results, thanks to the fact that Github has great metadata around my code to let the search engines eat them.
