What is ‘GitHub Next’? Is this an official GitHub project? It’s not on the github.com domain, so it doesn’t look like it. What signals do I have to know that this site is trustworthy?
I click ‘get started’, and it wants me to hand over access to my GitHub account to see all private resources I have and "act on [my] behalf" to some unknown "blocks" third party.
How do I determine whether this website is some kind of phishing scam, or legit? Everything everyone always says ("check the domain!") rings alarm bells.
- idan 4y agoA couple of proofs! next.github.com redirects to the site You can see Blocks and Hey, GitHub! on https://github.com/features/preview https://github.com/features/preview Watch Kyle's universe session linked elsewhere in the thread, he's going to be showing off a variety of projects from GitHub Next There are some very good reasons why we exist outside the primary domain — mostly security-related! The blast radius of our experimentation should not include github.com :D
- judge2020 4y agoThe oauth prompt reads "Not owned or operated by GitHub"; should get that changed if this is operated on behalf of the company.
