Notes about image handling on GitHub.com

If you upload an image to GitHub, the URL of the image will be modified so your information is not trackable.

To host your images, GitHub uses the open-source project Camo. Camo generates an anonymous URL proxy for each image that starts with https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ and hides your browser details and related information from other users.

Anyone who receives your anonymized image URL, directly or indirectly, may view your image. To keep sensitive images private, restrict them to a private network or a server that requires authentication instead of using Camo.
