You can't go to Crimea from Russia. It's against the international law. It's an illegal border crossing. Also, if you will try to access to GitHub from Crimean is's you will be blocked. And that your advice for going to Crimea from russia can bring troubles to people who will try to do that.

There is no such thing as international law.

Its not illegal border crossing either because there is de facto no border there.

A dejure argument doesn't make sense because no matter which side of the argument you take, crossing into crimea isn't on its own illegal. At worst you're supposed to get a visa, but Ukraine has a pretty open policy so that is generally not required for tourism under 90 days.

Presumably if you're coming from Russia you already have a visa to be in Russia too

What trouble will it bring?
