I like how it accumulated 3 such replacements before finally getting fixed as a reaction to this comment with PR 14543[0], but after review, two "fix unit tests" commits were added, one of which replaces claude with copilot and the second one messing up the docs markdown, getting merged after that. Agentic workflows are the battle... https://github.com/github/gh-aw/pull/14543

It's GitHub, using GitHub Pages for docs, https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ served as GitHub Pages from https://github.com/github/gh-aw

They are trying to fix it using this comment but cancelled mid way. Not sure why. https://github.com/github/gh-aw/pull/14548

I thought that it was to allow non-tech people to start making their own workflows/CI in a no/low-code way and compete against successful companies on this market. But the implementation is comically awful. Sure, you can "just write natural language" instructions and hope for the best. But they couldn't fully get away from their old demons and you still have to pay the YAML tax to set the necessary guardrails. I can't help but laugh at their example: https://github.com/github/gh-aw?tab=readme-ov-file#how-it-wo... They wrote 16 words in Markdown and... 19 in YAML. Because you can't trust the agent, you still have to write tons on gibberish YAML. I'm trying to understand it, but first you give permissions, here they only provide read permissions. And then give output permissions, which are actually write permissions on a smaller scope than

I noticed this unusual line in go.mod and got curious why it is using replace for this (typically you would `go get github.com/Masterminds/semver/v3@v3.4.0` instead). replace github.com/Masterminds/semver/v3 => github.com/Masterminds/semver/v3 v3.4.0 I found this very questionable PR[0]. It appears to have been triggered by dependabot creating an issue for a version upgrade -- which is probably unnecessary to begin with. The copilot agent then implemented that by adding a replace statement, which is not how you are supposed to do this. It also included some seemingly-unrelated changes. The copilot reviewer called out the unrelated changes, but the human maintainer apparently didn't notice and merged anyway. There is just so much going wrong here.

Agreed, but looks like it: https://github.com/github/gh-aw

Alternative, less phishy link: https://github.com/github/gh-aw This is on GitHub's official account. For some reason GitHub is deploying this on GitHub pages without a different domain?
