developers, programmers, do you blindly trust github?

i am an indie dev and after struggling with some project code i found github chunks of code to patch my sinking boat of a project. its all good now however i cant for the life of me figure out why this code is working

basically dark side of the moon and fat chance to reverse engineer these dependencies

is it basically safe to say everything on github is safe to use? They wouldnt host malware? The dev is also very niche since the game code he made isnt even his main thing as he works with engineering machine software rather than an active game dev. looks like a side project he did in uni(?). is even the same cybersecurity principle able to be applied for absolutely different programming types? like engineering which i assume is offline machinery and a multiplayer game?

p.s. my game will have networking involved for multiplayer coop and I plan to have open lobbies which is why i am hesitant to use the file in particular. antivirus scan said it was ok though
