AI crawler report: github.com
Scanned 2026-10-19T10:36:04.889Z (cached) · All reports · Run a fresh check
Summary
11 of 12 AI crawlers OK · 1 of 12 blocked in robots.txt · robots.txt present · llms.txt valid
robots.txt + llms.txt only (no live homepage fetches with AI crawler User-Agents); run a free check for the full test. CrawlDiff reports what our fetches saw. It does not guarantee AI citations or indexing. robots.txt is advisory: well-behaved crawlers follow it, others may ignore it, and it is not proof of live access.
Notes
Partial path blocks: 11 bots may fetch / but have Disallowed paths (up to 162 rules, e.g. /account-login, /copilot/, /copilot/c/, /ekansa/Open-Context-Data). "OK" means the homepage only, not the whole site.

CrawlDiff Watch re-checks github.com every 12 hours and emails you when an AI crawler gets newly blocked or llms.txt breaks.
