How to check a GitHub website

Look at the actual website address in your browser, not just the organisation name, logo, page design or wording. A page can look familiar while being hosted on a completely different website address.

GenuineWebsite compares the actual hostname with the website addresses held for GitHub. An address that merely contains “GitHub” is not automatically a genuine GitHub website.

Why check a GitHub link?

GitHub is associated with online and technology services. Unexpected links can arrive through email, text messages, search results, adverts or social media. Checking the website address gives you a simple identity check before you continue.

GenuineWebsite answers a narrow question: does the website address match a verified website address held for the organisation it appears to represent?
