Github can land you in trouble if you don’t know some hacks of it .
- For example using a hack ,one can add any collaborator to repository without acknowledgement of the collaborator . Yes , any collaborator. The commit wil appear as if that person just contributed to the code base.
How ?
git -config user.name <any_user_in_the_world>
git -config user.email <email_of_that_user>
so now when you push the user would not be you but the user you specified.

Apart from that one can also host website without getting tracked or traced ,and that too for free.
-
One more bad trick is changing git commit time , which is very misleading for bad purpose . One can check gitcheatsheet here.
