Pro tip to teach people to fish instead of giving them a fish:
Whenever you’re looking for a new software tool to do something, especially something “sketchy” like this, add something like “GPL” or “open source” to the end of your search string. It might not be quite enough to raise the official site of the best tool all the way to the first search result, but it cuts way, way down on the scam sites.
Or perhaps even better yet, go straight to checking AlternativeTo.net.

I’ve seen github malware before, so, beware
Or add “reddit” and check what people recommend Though you would have to use Google or perhaps Startpage

May as well walk into an AA meeting and tell people they can just keep drinking

How dare you.
Yes, but eww.
