<p>So we know AI is making it easier for people to submit low-quality PRs or contributions to projects on GitHub and the team is actively looking at short-term and long-term solutions to try to make this better. Would love your input/feedback as well any other pain points so we can try to make the experience better.

<p>I'm in a <a href="/tags/github/" rel="tag">#github</a> internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mapstodon.space/@leaflet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>leaflet</span></a></span> having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs made with copilot".</p><p>Meanwhile, there's a grand total of zero requests for "plz put copilot in more stuff".</p><p>This should be significative of the attitude of veteran coders towards <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#LLM</a> creep.</p>

<p>How the @#$% does <a href="/tags/hugo/" rel="tag">#Hugo</a> (static website generator) work with Github? Hundreds of pages reference <a href="/tags/github/" rel="tag">#github</a> but I still can't find how that works. Almost every Hugo help site says "add this reference to [a? your?] github repo..." but don't explain what the heck is happening or why I need that... why do I need a github repo to have a website somewhere else? </p><p>Clearly I don't need it; I have a hugo site up and running, and at no point was github involved.... except nothing would work until I initalized (?) my hugo directory (or the executable? IDK) on my webhost's server using a git command. For some reason.</p><p>I seriously don't understand why (or, more importantly, how) Hugo needs github. Right now dozens or hundreds of help sites seem like they're telling me that I need to have a shrine to my cat in my neighbor's house or else my blender won't work. </p><p>Lots of references to using github submodules and plenty of people saying "No! You fool! Don't do that!" and other people saying "Ackshully you should make your website a github module." Then other sites (including Hugo's official site) saying I should make my website into a <a href="/tags/go/" rel="tag">#go</a> module somehow for some reason... and I can't do that unless I have a github repo somewhere? Which is also maybe a Go module? Yet more sites saying I don't need to do that if I use some fancy scripts to fool something (my Hugo installation? My github repo? IDK) into thinking my Hugo site is or has a github repo...</p><p>If anyone would like to explain this to me like I'm literally 12 years old I'm very open to this. Every help site I've seen for weeks just assumes I understand some basic things that I don't remotely understand, like what the connection is between Hugo and github, how important it is, how it works, etc.</p><p>Understanding that I already have a functioning Hugo site, but apparently still need a github repo (maybe?) to do anything more interesting with it.</p><p>I know I'm using Mastodon as tech support a lot lately, but honestly y'all are more helpful than most search engines for some things.</p><p><a href="/tags/golang/" rel="tag">#golang</a> <a href="/tags/webdev/" rel="tag">#webdev</a> <a href="/tags/confused/" rel="tag">#confused</a> <a href="/tags/help/" rel="tag">#help</a> <a href="/tags/eli5/" rel="tag">#eli5</a></p>
