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 :)

- hobarrera 12y agoThe "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.
- antsar 12y agoIts 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/
- manojlds 12y agoIt's there for Github for Mac users too.
- mejari 12y agoNo, 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 agoIt is present for those using Github for Window/Mac whereby you can clone a repo by clicking that button.
