This feels more inline with Windows Dark Mode (since Github is a Microsoft company).

In case anyone's interested, it's possible to schedule light and dark themes on Windows via this app:

I usually prefer the dark theme but some websites detect that Windows is in dark mode (using `prefers-color-scheme: dark` in CSS) and fail to provide a way to toggle the dark theme off. This makes it difficult to read the text during daytime.

Scheduling dark theme on & off and combining it with Dark Reader's automation, it's nice being able to have all websites switch to dark mode at night.

I found https://github.com/Armin2208/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode to be better for auto-scheduling.
How do you combine it with Dark Reader's automation? I don't see any automation option in Dark Reader. :(
Dark Reader settings > Dev Tools > Switch to new Design

then

Dark Reader settings > automation > use system color theme

Well since the Settings has both System Default and Dark Mode, I wish System Default would be matching closer to macOS Dark Mode which is Dark Greyish colour when user is on macOS.
System Default likely just infers dark mode preference via prefers-color-scheme. It doesn't seem to be a unique theme.
