Bad Bot. None of these terms are in this thread.

But they are in this thread, someone directly mentioned Git, both HTTP and HTTPS are mentioned directly in links description, and finally SSL is mentioned by the bot itself when explaining HTTPS.

The bot commented when the thread was young. HTTP, HTTPS and SSL were nowhere in the thread. I used ctl+F to make sure HTTP was nowhere in the thread before commenting. Later someone mentioned Git and the bot added Git. Even later, I added the announcement and link.
Even it had found links, finding a link and defining HTTPS, HTTP, and SSL is not helpful.

Maybe the comment wasn’t synchronized with your instance yet, and I’m not sure if the bot identified a link like this or a link like https://google.com/, where in the markdown description they added the HTTPS explicitly.
And I don’t know if the bot suffers from the Scunthorpe problem, i.e. dumb bot.
