There is some weird language (that I’ll absolutely pass feedback on to the team), I think because GitHub Next is a different organization from GitHub proper, but I can assure you, this is an official GitHub app.&lt;p&gt;But I totally agree that this isn’t a great&amp;#x2F;clear message about where this is from.</text></comment>

It seems like it is labeled weirdly since it is part of GitHub, but definitely was triple checking what was going on with that.</text></comment>
