Have you ever found a GitHub project or anything that seemed nice and tempting to install until you dug a bit deeper?

What are some red flags that should detur anyone from installing and running something?

    Something I do is if a project has way too many stars, click on a few of the names randomly.

    If those profiles have 0-1 projects, my yellow flag (not red flag) goes up. Because yeah, it’s really easy to buy GitHub stars now.
