Ask HN: Are there bots on GitHub too?

3 pointsby bufrshover 4 years ago

Someone starred/forked a repository a public repo of mine. Upon checking, https://github.com/isgasho seems to be forking primarily Go and Rust code repos, and has done so for 5K+ repos. Is that a bot?

Leak AWS credentials onto a public repo and you’ll get a fast, and expensive, answer to that question.

Always has been.<p>Whenever there's a public developer API for a service, there's a high chance you'll encounter a 'bot'.
