* `repo-confusion-guard`: [A markdown note](https://github.com/brooks-code/repo-confusion-guard) about a supply chain attack encountered here on GitHub. *(added in July 2025)*.

  - A detailed article about it is available on [freeCodeCamp](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/protect-github-repos-from-malicious-clones/).
