Event Summary

GitHub modified the navigation structure of their Terms of Service document on July 11, 2026. The change removed 'Site policy /' from the beginning of the breadcrumb navigation, so the path now reads 'Site policy GitHub Terms GitHub Terms of Service' instead of 'Site policy / GitHub Terms / GitHub Terms of Service'. This is a formatting adjustment to the document's navigational header and does not alter the substantive content or obligations within the Terms of Service itself.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change is a formatting adjustment to the document's navigation structure and does not materially alter the substantive terms, policies, or user obligations within the Terms of Service. The removal of the forward slash from the breadcrumb navigation is a presentational change only.
