Questions about the Github icon

›Does Github stop as soon as the pointer leaves?

It finishes the cycle it is in (at most 1 s) and then rests on its first frame, so it never freezes mid-motion. Taps on touch screens are ignored, but keyboard focus plays it.

›Will screen readers read the Github icon?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Github" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

›Can Github loop all the time instead?

Yes: pass interaction="loop". It then plays continuously; stays on the static first frame when reduced motion is preferred.
