Can I use unlicensed GitHub code?

On GitHub the three main types of software licenses are: It permits users to do anything with a given project as long as they credit the developer and don’t hold him or her liable for the project’s use. … It is a copyleft license that requires users to track their changes if they modify and then distribute a project.19 Tem 2013

Software that doesn’t have an explicit license is under exclusive copyright. That means nobody else can use, copy, share, or change it, even if it’s sitting in a public repo on GitHub .
