One interesting thing is they seem to have also cloned the number of stars each repo has on GitHub. At least that’s true for a cursory check of a few that I’ve committed to. If you click on the star count you’ll then see two separate counts for GitHub and GitCode stars.

It’s one thing to mirror the repos, but it’s another to initially misrepresent the interactivity the repo is getting, even if they’re clear about it when you dig in.

Also, how do you authenticate so you can keep committing and interact with the repo to manage PRs and issues if it’s yours?

Some users have reported that despite authorizing through GitHub, they are still unable to claim their namespace.
