The style GitHub uses seems not to trigger any MD004 errors:
https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/

Could you please show some example Markdown or link to a document with violations?

That’s because an earlier list in your document (the one at the top of your image) uses the ‘*’ as a list marker. By default, MD004 assumes the first list item it finds uses the list marker style you want for the entire document. You could change the other list(s) to use ‘-‘ and this warning should go away. Or you could disable MD004 if you like how your document is now.
