Acceptable Use Policies Github Hate Speech And Discrimination (GitHub)
This document outlines GitHub's policy against hate speech and discrimination on its platform. It defines what constitutes prohibited speech, including attacks based on various personal characteristics, and aims to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all users.
GitHub Hate Speech and Discrimination
GitHub does not tolerate speech that attacks or promotes hate toward an individual or group of people on the basis of who they are, including age, body size, ability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual identity, or sexual orientation. This includes:
Mocking, attacking, or excluding a person or group based on their beliefs or the characteristics listed above
Displaying clear affiliation or identification with known terrorist or violent extremist organizations
Supporting or promoting hate groups or hate-based conspiracy theories
Sharing symbols or images synonymous with hate
Using harmful stereotypes, slurs, or dehumanizing speech
Attacking an individual based on their perceived gender
Dog whistling; or using coded or suggestive language and/or symbols to promote abuse or hate
While GitHub takes all instances of abuse and harassment on the platform seriously, we are especially committed to fighting hate-based abuse where it disproportionately affects communities that have historically been targeted by such abuse. We aim to make GitHub a place where all individuals feel welcome and safe.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
