There is a GitHub success story here—but not for a crack. Visit Photopea.com. It is a browser-based Photoshop clone built by one developer (Ivan Kutskir). It opens PSD files. It uses the same keyboard shortcuts. It has layers, masks, blending modes, and even AI filters.
It is free (ad-supported) or $5/month for premium. No install. No virus. No Adobe ID.
While GIMP has its own official website, the source code is hosted on GNOME's infrastructure (often linked via developer forums similar to GitHub).
Adobe Systems does have an official GitHub presence (github.com/AdobeDocs or github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services).

You don't actually want "GitHub Photoshop." You want Photoshop capabilities on Windows for cheap or free.

Adobe no longer sells perpetual licenses easily. The standard way is the Creative Cloud Photography Plan (20GB).

If that cracked version phones home to Adobe (and many do, despite claims of "firewall blocking"), Adobe gathers your IP address and machine ID. They don't sue you. They wait. When you finally get a job at a design agency and install a legitimate copy of Creative Cloud, their servers match the hardware ID to the previous cracked version.
Your new employer gets a nastygram: "Your employee has previously used unlicensed software. Please audit your machines."
You get fired.
All to save $20.
