If you use npm, go get or other automatic dependency grabbing systems you better be pinning deps to particular hashes.
Do not blindly trust deps by name.
Do not allow deps to automatically upgrade to a newer version.
Hard part: Your deps might be blindly trusting their deps.

UPDATE
GitHub is investigating the Tweet published Wed, Aug. 3, 2022:
  • No repositories were compromised
  • Malicious code was posted to cloned repositories, not the repositories themselves
  • The clones were quarantined and there was no evident compromise of GitHub or maintainer accounts
