Transparency Center

At GitHub, we put developers first and work hard to provide a safe, open, and inclusive platform for code collaboration. Our developer-first approach to content moderation minimizes disruptions to code while protecting developer privacy, taking action on abusive content, and being transparent about content moderation and disclosure of user information.
