If I say GitHub repository, does the sentence then make sense to you? I tend to forget that GH is Microsoft's similar to how people around here forget WhatsApp is Facebook or random brands are Nestlé, so I try to get in the habit of calling things by the parent brand to decrease the obfuscation

Maybe I should simply have said git, though. Didn't think of that until now at the end of writing this reply. No dishonesty intended, quite the opposite in fact

”a microsoft repository” implies that the audacity project is handled by microsoft, which false.

If you must state ownership you could have done so with something like ”a microsoft-hosted repository”.

Most of us have been around since before microsoft bought github.
