There's no porn in that repo. Anime girls holding programming books is a common meme/trend/style that's been around for over a decade by now.

I believe a predecessor to that meme would date back at least to the early ‘90s, as demonstrated by the plot point in Wayne’s World 2 in which Olivia d’Abo’s character was approvingly identified for holding a book on Unix network programming.
