<!-- Thanks for being one of the people that read the source. This is a very basic stunt, I thought of it on a train back from an event last week. I saved my GitHub page using a browser and then made a few modifications to make it look more realistic as a Microsoft project. I then hijacked the A href clicks and used them to show the wonderfully awesome clippyjs by smore.

    https://www.smore.com/clippy-js

    I then uploaded the result to the gh-pages branch of a Git Repo
    as I felt this would trick the average user into thinking that
    the code was a genuine GitHub Project.

    Happy April the 1st :)

Its seems to be a native Github feature visible for those browsing on a Windows device. The button simply links to https://windows.github.com/

It's there for Github for Mac users too.

No, that is a real button on the real GitHub. If you have it installed it opens the GitHub client and clones the repo

It is present for those using Github for Window/Mac whereby you can clone a repo by clicking that button.

This one got me bad, you could have even phished me into entering my GitHub password.

I was thinking GitHub and Microsoft did a collaboration in their April Fools prank because how else could Clippy popup when you click a link.

Nice trick. And is showed me how we are all sensible to phishing attempts.

That's mean. I'd love to have the source code to Microsoft Agent. :(

At least there's floppy.js

Also, spoofing GitHub.com might piss them off.

floppy.js? I meant clippy.js

It's 12.5% Objective-C - who'd have thunk?

Hahaha, that's a nice touch, I hadn't noticed that. :)
