## What it is
Anonymous GitHub is a proxy server that anonymizes GitHub repositories (owner, org, repo name, file names, and file contents) so researchers can share code and data for double-anonymous peer review. It is available as a free public instance, a CLI that produces anonymized zips, and a self-hostable Docker deployment.

## Use cases
- share code anonymously for double-blind peer review
- anonymize a github repository for paper submission
- hide author identity in code artifact for reviewers
- generate anonymized zip of a repository locally
- self-host an anonymized repository proxy for a conference
- anonymize file contents and names before sharing research data

## When to choose
- you need to submit code or data for double-anonymous peer review
- you want a shareable anonymized link to a GitHub repository without manual scrubbing
- you want to run your own anonymization proxy for a venue or lab

## When to avoid
- you need strong guarantees against de-anonymization beyond term replacement
- you want to anonymize non-GitHub sources like GitLab or zip archives
- you need fully offline anonymization without any server
