Whaaat? I hope it doesn't go through. I use GitHub code search for clues when reverse engineering cheap Chinese IoT crap. Usually I can find some headers / SDKs accidentally uploaded and set to public by a random Chinese guy. Those repos usually have one commit and zero traffic, but they contain invaluable information about proprietary MCUs.
