Migrating Away from GitHub

You're reached to this page because Andrei Jiroh is in the process of deprecating his GitHub account. Since this is an evolving news and this wiki page is currently a work in progress and still ironing out the deprecation plans, please watch this page (if you have a Miraheze account) or bookmark this page and return later for updates.

Why?
Software Freedom Conservancy began calling all FOSS developers and maintainers to give up on GitHub on Wednesday 29 June 2022. Some reasons behind this campaign are:


 * the usage of Copilot in ways that could trigger copyright infringement due to non-compliance to the terms under copyleft licenses, particularly GPL and AGPL (and in some cases, CC BY-SA, even through it's not suitable for use as a software license), which also has ethnical implications of their choice of using copylefted code in the dataset,
 * GitHub being wholly owned by Microsoft, one of the companies whose executives have historically repeatedly attacked copyleft licensing.

How this could affect your projects?
Personal projects will no longer accept issues and merge requests from within GitHub and will be required to submit issues and patches to either GitLab SaaS or through the mailing lists hosted on sr.ht.

During the migration process, projects within my personal namespaces (excluding namespaces under Recap Time Squad's management) will convert into Git mirrors, with issues and pull requests automatically closed and locked with the following message in Markdown.

What about Recap Time Squad's projects?
