From https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#makefile-master_sites-github-multiple : When fetching multiple files from GitHub, sometimes the default distribution file is not fetched from GitHub. To disable fetching the default distribution, set: USE_GITHUB= nodefault If you set USE_GITHUB=yes it means the software you are porting has no distribution file and only a github repository from which you can get a git-archive extract. If the software actually does release distribution files, but for some reason, you need to fetch something from github, you use USE_GITHUB=nodefault. -- Mathieu Arnold
