GitHub’s source code Has Been leaked on GitHub past night… Type of

The source code flow vanished from GitHub itself quite quickly–and did not keep up on web.archive.org for long then.

Yesterday evening, programmer and solitude activist Resynth1943 declared  the GitHub’s source code was leaked on GitHub itself, at GitHub’s very own DMCA repository. It is likely to require some unpacking to speak about this, but first things first–that is not too big a deal because it may seem.

Soon after Resynth1943–that appears to have broken up the information, and explained the code as with”been leaked” with an unidentified person —reshared the statement on Hacker News, GitHub CEO Nat Friedman showed up in HN to offer a context.

According to Friedman, the upload in question was really of GitHub Enterprise Server, although never the GitHub website. While both share a significant quantity of code, the differentiation is important. Part of the importance is that GitHub itself wasn’t really hacked.
