If you list packages in this option, the local redirector(api.github.com -> codeload.github.com) will be off.

It is also recommended to use composer's authentication as you may run into access errors otherwise due to request restriction for anonymous user for external services like github.

For github.com you can use an auth.json with an oauth access token placed on your on the same level as your composer.json:

{
    "github-oauth": {
        "github.com": "YOUR_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN"
    }
}
