Operator
Github
Github runs 3 bots across 3 agent types. Each one is a separate user-agent so you can allow or block them independently.
Code is operated by Github. AI-powered developer tool that fetches docs, code samples, and package metadata to ground code suggestions. Usually identifies itself with a Coding Agent or model-specific user-agent.
GigablastOpenSource is operated by Github. Traditional search-engine crawler that indexes pages for organic-search results. Blocking this almost always reduces visibility in the corresponding search engine.
Snacktory is operated by Github. Generic programmatic data extraction with intent that varies case-by-case. Worth checking the operator before blocking, some are legitimate research, some are abusive.
