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.
