If you are going to reach for a retarded conspiracy theory. At least grasp for one with plausible deniablity. It's a trivial matter to verify the provenance of a git project.
You are the reason for rule #3 on this subvoat. This is a place programming discussion. Do you even belong here? A person who uses Git should know these things. Are you lost or something? Maybe you made a wrong turn back in /v/fatpeoplehate or something? /v/conspiratards is probably where you are trying to post this stupid bullshit.
That's old news and nothing compared to what OP is implying. They can remove a project. They can't ninja files into the project without record of that happening.
Also, the whole Github drama is specifically the whole reason rules #2 and #3 were added to this subverse. It doesn't really have anything to do with programming.
Jesus, rules rules rules, you are worse that Reddit.
And yes this is related to programming. Git is a vital part of modern programming.
When you put all your code sources on-line, you have no way to know if someone is slightly modifying it behind your back. And don't tell me that Git is this magical thing that no one can modify behind your back. Anything that is "digital" can and will be broken.
Use source forge. You get binary data stores, project pages, code repositories, forums, mailing lists and so much more. And it's been around so much longer than VC funded unsustainable crap like GitHub.
And yes this is related to programming. Git is a vital part of modern programming.
Git might be considered programming related. Github drama is not. We had this conversation in this subverse over a year ago. It's old news and has been settled. Drama belongs elsewhere. Post drama in a drama subverse.
And don't tell me that Git is this magical thing that no one can modify behind your back
It's not magical there is a cryptographically secure chain of provenance built into git. No one can modify a git project without leaving evidence of that change. Github can do nothing to get around this. If you want to assert that they can, do the work and publish an exploit. Otherwise, people who actually understand how Git works will treat you like a conspiritard.
Anything that is "digital" can and will be broken.
Put your money where your mouth is and publish an exploit. If you can break the hashes used by git, you will be famous. If Github could do this, they would be doing much more than just editing files. They'd be stealing everyone's Bitcoins and hacking Russia's nuclear missile silos for the CIA.
This land whale neckbeard fagit actually understands how git repositories work. Listen, Son, I've been around these parts a lot longer than your 8 days. This whole Github drama bullshit was put to rest well over a year ago.
I really don't get why people have lost their ability to create their own web server. At some point during the "Web 2.0" era we decided that we'd only focus our efforts on giving reddit and facebook more content than they could handle. All of these people's concerns would be alleviated if they just hosted their own Git repo. Nobody actually needs Github.
They are far more open about their progressive ideology and they feel no remorse banning stuff that they find problematic. In this case, I don't see why they'd need to edit code.
Surreptitiously editing the repo is time consuming and trivial to catch... Forcing your project to adopt an ethics code that insists you take submissions from talentless retards who happen to be non-straight/white/male because not taking their shitty submission would hurt their feelings... that's much more insidious to my way of thinking.
I do not suggest hosting with Gitlab but self-hosting is fine. They have the same ideology but are less forward about it. Who knows when that will change.
I feel two new open source projects coming on: libNIGR, an API for trashing data indiscriminately every time Trump makes a tweet, and Holocaustr which quarantines then slowly deletes Trojan Horses.

Exactly the response I expected from a Cuck like you. Go suck off a punch card.

If you changed a single line of my codebase I would notice the next time I had to debug.
I know it like the back of my hand and I am currently aware of what lines are and are not commented out in my dev branch at the current time.

Why would they edit your code when they can just ban you if you don't follow their SJW suggestions?
