In this day and age this is a bit like bringing a knife to a biocybernetic nanomaterial mimic fight. You will have much better results, with all untrusted software atp, instead of putting trust in a regex filter, asking any recent AI agent “I’m about to clone this repo, can you scan it for anything malicious/suspicious, phone-homes, possible hidden payloads, or secret update/c&c pathways?”

Even that is not guaranteed to keep you safe depending on the model used and the sophistication of the malware, but you’ll at least have a much better chance than a filtering tool. I am not being HN-paranoia-brained when I say it is the bare minimum for installing any software that comes from someone else, Github or an easily-compromised supply chain today.
