Martin from GitHub here - the offending repos have been taken down, but the article from Roman is still very much worth reading to understand the attack vector attempted.

The technology behind pulling together this is fantastic so def worth reading the links. Joshua's work around doing the OCR of the paper printouts and using the CRC's in the margin to self-error check is great. https:/&#x2F

We are not training on the contents of private repos, but we do plan on training on usage data with Copilot unless you opt out before April 24. Details here: https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-

It wasn’t previously opt-in. Previously we didn’t do any training on usage. However as other products have come into the market they do train on usage. We’ve been training on our internal usage for just over a year and have seen some majo

No we won’t. Details here https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-gi... For users of Free, Pro and Pro+ Copilot, if you don’t opt out then we will start collecting usage data of Copilot for use

by martinwoodward 7mo ago
We are not. The reason we wanted to announce early was so that folks had plenty of time to opt-out now. We've also added the opt-out setting even if you don't use Copilot so that you can opt-out now before you forget and then if

Hey David - if you want to send me (martinwoodward at github.com) details of your GitHub account I can take a look. At a guess I suspect you are one of the many folks who qualified for GitHub Copilot Pro for free as a maintainer of a popul

We do not train on the contents from any paid organization’s repos, regardless of whether a user is working in that repo with a Copilot Free, Pro, or Pro+ subscription. If a user’s GitHub account is a member of or outside collaborator with

If you previously opted out of the setting allowing GitHub to collect data for product improvements, your preference has been retained here. We figured if you didn't want that then you definitely wouldn't want this..

I kinda wish I had that much power. There would certainly be less people in the world listening to their phones without headphones.. Usually starts with contacting them over email reminding them of the terms of service and warning them to

Martin from GitHub here. This type of behaviour is explicitly against the GitHub terms of service, when we catch the accounts doing this we can (and do) take action against those accounts including banning the accounts. It's a game of

Honestly, it's not an area where there has been consensus on when we talk with maintainers. Some folks worry about that reducing the very nature of open source collaboration. We've had the ability to temporarily disable PR's

If anyone wants to see the most used languages on GitHub then we post that data regularly in our Octoverse report ( https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages ). This ranking is obtained by looking at t

Martin from GitHub here. I think we’d consider this very much ‘by design’ in removing the streak counter so I’m glad it had the desired affect. Coding 100 days straight with no breaks isn’t good for anyone.

FWIW we have a quite a bit of history of allowing people to protect their privacy. https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/ https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-a

Yes, and I think yes but I would need to test it to be sure. I do know the contributions disappear if you only have public contributions enabled and then turn a repo private but if you have private enabled then as long as the contributions

Martin from GitHub here. While Copilot is good it's not quite up to those numbers yet I'm afraid. It’s early days, but we’re already seeing that for some languages when people have it installed, we see about 30% of newly written c

The new project experience allows you to track issues that are in different projects, prioritise them alongside each other etc. I work at GitHub where we've been trying this out for a while and it's working pretty well so far for
