Interesting, is not an official product from Github, but I love the idea and they being upfront about their inspiration from Simon, a really interesting person to follow, I love his investment in Datasette, SQLite utils and Django.

The thing about Git Scrapping, although I think the idea is awesome, I thought It was against Github Actions rules, or at the very least being on the edge. So I don't know what the position from Github is about this as this is not an official thing from them, but this gives me positive vibes.

Same here! I was reasonably confident that Git scraping was within the boundaries of GitHub Actions supported use-cases but it did always feel a little bit on the edge, this is fantastic confirmation that it's a supported technique.
