I am making a Public repo for the first time. It's not mutch , just a script to setup a podman container. But i am afraid of people messing up their devices and blaming me 😅. Do you guys think i should put a disclaimer in the main page of the repo? If yes, what kind of disclaimer should i use? I've never really dived into the legal side of things.

always, yes.

Do you have any example i can base myself off of? I genuinely have no clue in what to include.

just say primarily you are not responsible if something goes wrong as it's your script untested on multiple devices.

that being said if you code it terribly and it wipes the users drive then it is on you legally binding.

Thanks. I know that my code is bad, but it shouldn't be THAT bad. The reason why i am worried is because to use the program, the user needs to change a the UMA framebuffer size. And i am afraid of people changing for ex. The cpu voltage offset and nuking their device. All the program does in of itself should be fixable by just deleting the container. So i am not worried about it that mutch.
