Disclaimer | GitHub Help Wanted

This page provides disclosures about affiliate links and general limitations of the content on GitHub Help Wanted. The goal is transparency: readers should understand when the site may benefit financially and how to interpret the guidance provided.

Key Takeaways #

Affiliate links may exist: some pages may contain links that generate a commission.
No extra cost: commissions typically do not increase the price you pay, but terms vary by provider.
Editorial independence: content aims to be criteria-based and includes trade-offs and alternatives.
Informational content only: articles are educational, not professional advice.
Verify critical details: use official documentation and the References section to confirm changes.

Affiliate Disclosure #

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through those links, GitHub Help Wanted may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links can help fund the site (hosting, tooling, and ongoing updates). They do not change the editorial standard:

Recommendations should be based on fit and trade-offs.
Alternatives should be presented where relevant.
Critical claims should be supported by authoritative references.

If a page contains affiliate links, the intent is to make the disclosure clear and easy to notice. Readers should evaluate any purchase decision independently.

When a link is an affiliate link, it may include tracking parameters or redirect through an affiliate network. The presence of such parameters does not change the content itself, but it is a sign that the site may benefit financially if you purchase.

No Professional Advice #

All content on GitHub Help Wanted is provided for informational and educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, medical, security, or professional advice. Software choices and operational decisions have real consequences; if you need professional advice, consult a qualified professional.

Examples of situations where professional input may be appropriate:

compliance requirements (privacy law, licensing, security standards),
production system design and incident response,
contractual decisions and terms of service,
and high-stakes financial or legal decisions.

No Warranties #

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” While the team aims for accuracy, tools change rapidly:

documentation may be updated or relocated,
UI labels and settings may change,
defaults may shift across versions,
pricing and product tiers may change,
and security best practices evolve.

Readers are responsible for validating steps against current official documentation before applying them—especially for production systems.

External Links #

Articles may link to third-party websites (official docs, research reports, standards, and other resources). GitHub Help Wanted does not control those sites and is not responsible for their availability, content, or policies.

Testimonials and Reviews #

If the site includes tool reviews or comparisons, the goal is to describe:

what the tool is best for,
what limitations exist,
what the learning curve looks like,
and what a realistic adoption path is.

Ratings or “best tool” lists should be interpreted as guidance, not guarantees. Always evaluate tools in your own context.

Examples of Disclosures #

Disclosures should be clear and close to the relevant content. Examples:

“This page contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission.”
“We may receive compensation from some providers; recommendations remain criteria-based.”

If a page includes a comparison table with pricing or “best for” guidance, the disclosure should not be buried at the bottom. It should appear near the top or near the first affiliate link so readers can make an informed decision.

Earnings and Outcome Disclaimer #

Software tools and career advice do not produce guaranteed outcomes. For example, a certification may increase your chances in a job search, but it is not a guarantee of employment or salary. Similarly, a tool may improve productivity in one team and slow another team down due to onboarding cost or mismatch with workflow.

The site’s goal is to make trade-offs explicit and provide references for verification, but readers remain responsible for decisions in their own context.

Pricing, Availability, and Third‑Party Claims #

If an article mentions pricing, tiers, or product availability, treat it as informational and verify it on the vendor’s official website. Pricing models change frequently, and regional differences may apply. GitHub Help Wanted is not responsible for changes made by third parties after an article is published.
