  It's 12.5% Objective-C - who'd have thunk?

    Hahaha, that's a nice touch, I hadn't noticed that. :)

  <!-- Thanks for being one of the people that read the source. This is a very basic stunt, I thought of it on a train back from an event last week. I saved my GitHub page using a browser and then made a few modifications to make it look more realistic as a Microsoft project. I then hijacked the A href clicks and used them to show the wonderfully awesome clippyjs by smore. https://www.smore.com/clippy-js I then uploaded the result to the gh-pages branch of a Git Repo as I felt this would trick the average user into thinking that the code was a genuine GitHub Project. Happy April the 1st :) -->

    The "Clone in desktop" button gave it away as fake - I'm assuming it's a windows plugin for browsers or something, but I'd never seen that on github before.

      Its seems to be a native Github feature visible for those browsing on a Windows device. The button simply links to https://windows.github.com/ https://windows.github.com/

        It's there for Github for Mac users too.
    • mejari 12y ago
      No, that is a real button on the real GitHub. If you have it installed it opens the GitHub client and clones the repo
    • manojlds 12y ago
      It is present for those using Github for Window/Mac whereby you can clone a repo by clicking that button.

  This one got me bad, you could have even phished me into entering my GitHub password. I was thinking GitHub and Microsoft did a collaboration in their April Fools prank because how else could Clippy popup when you click a link.

  That's mean. I'd love to have the source code to Microsoft Agent. :( At least there's floppy.js Also, spoofing GitHub.com might piss them off.
  • TazeTSchnitzel 12y ago
    floppy.js? I meant clippy.js

  Nice trick. And is showed me how we are all sensible to phishing attempts.
