About GitHub
from our crawl and measurement
"GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects." That is how GitHub introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.1 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 6.1/10, GitHub has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GitHub Advanced Security?
GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) encompasses GitHub’s application security products comprising GitHub Secret Protection and GitHub Code Security. GHAS adds cutting-edge tools for static analysis, software composition analysis, and secret scanning to the GitHub platform that developers already know and love. GHAS makes it easy for developers to find and fix vulnerabilities earlier in the software development life cycle.
Why choose GitHub Advanced Security instead of a third-party AppSec product?
GitHub Advanced Security operates entirely in the native GitHub workflows that developers already know and love. By making it easier for developers to remediate vulnerabilities as they go, GitHub Advanced Security frees time for security teams to focus on critical strategies that protect businesses, customers, and communities from application-based vulnerabilities.
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps refers to a combination of the development, security, and operations tools necessary to develop software applications.
What is AppSec?
Application security (AppSec) is the process of finding, fixing, and preventing security vulnerabilities in applications. GitHub Advanced Security provides AppSec tools for static application security testing (SAST), which identifies vulnerabilities in the code itself.
Can I use GitHub Advanced Security with Microsoft Azure DevOps?
Yes. GitHub Advanced Security is available as an add-on for Azure DevOps.
Where can I find case studies and reference customers?
Read our customer stories to learn how customers like Telus , Mercado Libre , and KPMG use GitHub Advanced Security to secure applications and accelerate the software development lifecycle.
