It looks like jobmachine is a private repo, maybe don't include the url in your blog post :)

If the URL to a private repo is not secure, then a whole bunch of people (including GitHub) have a big problem, and exposing jobmachine is the least of their worries ;-)
It's not a security problem, or else my comment would have been much more adamant about removing the link. It's mostly just reader confusion. Seeing the git clone url led me to believe the project was open sourced and was disappointed to find that not to be the case.
We do have a different small tool in Haskell that we are likely going to open source though :)
I don't think there is any harm done in putting it in there. All GitHub urls follow a standard schema, so if you wanted to you could anyway guess it.

The point of the code snippet was simply to highlight how nice the Haskell build tools are compared to Python's.

I couldn't help but try to see if they were nice enough to opensource it, though, hah.
It's currently specialized for our specific use case and would not be useful for anyone else, I think. I'm sure that we will keep iterating on it though, so perhaps it will become more general-purpose in the future so we might look into open-sourcing it then. But I can't promise anything, sorry!
