GitHub Accounts

Google uses several GitHub accounts to help us manage the hundreds of open
source projects we've released on GitHub. We've listed some of those accounts
here, so that if you see activity from them on your issue or pull request you
can know that these really are official Google accounts. This is not
necessarily an exhaustive list, but we'll try and keep it up to date with our
more active accounts.
- googlebot
- The googlebot account is primarily used to comment on pull requests,
directing contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement when
necessary. You may also occasionally see other comments or actions from
this account, doing things like triaging issues or pull requests.
- GoogleCodeExporter
- This account is used when migrating projects from code.google.com to
GitHub using the automated Export-to-Github tool.
