Might be better to encourage placeholder repository to avoid concerns from the public such as this but as long as the presenter ultimately controls the namespace it is not really at issue.
- sneak 4y agoMicrosoft and the US military ultimately controls the namespace on GitHub.com.
- bee_rider 4y agoWhat's the relationship between the US military and github?
- sneak 4y agoThey get to dictate to Microsoft what is and isn’t allowed on github.com. Microsoft will not fight a 1A battle against one of their biggest and oldest partners. Not only are they one of their largest customers, they have physical control over the place where Microsoft and GitHub staff live and work.
- awwaiid 4y ago... you mean the US, possibly allies? Not only is that broad enough to be meaningless, I don't know offhand of any military going to someone's house to require them (by force I assume) to change their GitHub repo name. What are you getting at?
- sneak 4y agoI'm getting at the fact that Wikileaks can't have private GitHub repos that are actually private.
