It's a Hindu/Buddhist swastika, which is still widely used by adherents of said religions.

  Are you sure? There are two of them, each facing opposite directions

    Their github avatar has similar iconography: https://github.com/kernc https://github.com/kernc And this other user has the same avatar and explicitly says they are buddhist. https://github.com/neokin https://github.com/neokin no other signs anywhere I can see that give any cause for concern.

    I'd say having both of them increases the chance of them being Hindu swastikas. The nazis used only a single direction.

    Yep! I speak from experience as an Indian.

    According to Wikipedia[0]: > In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ("sun"), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (anti-clockwise) (卍) is called sauwastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.
