There are oodles of neat and singular programs on github and similar. Curious what steps people take to vet for malware before downloading and trying stuff, especially if you’re not very familiar with the coding language it’s written in.

    Not disagreeing with you, but since the author is asking about GitHub… the XZ GitHub didn’t actually have any malicious code. Only the website tarbal did.
