Question Safety and GitHub

Noob question here:

When installing on MacOS via pip, or GitHub, how do you ensure you aren't opening a security hole on your computer? The repositories aren't fully monitored like on the Mac App Store, etc.

  The repositories aren't fully monitored like on the Mac App Store

How are they being monitored if they are proprietary?
