I want to migrate most my Git repos to Codeberg.
I have decided to migrate my repos back to GitHub. The repos on Codeberg will be mirrors. There is a blog post draft about this decision.
What does and doesn't get migrated
-
Migrate
-
Source repos, that is, authored by me and that I own
-
Forks, if they are independent of the upstream
-
-
Do not migrate
-
Projects I do not directly own
-
Projects that are private (that is, hidden from other users)
-
-
Delete
-
Forks I created to fix an issue and do not need any more
-
Projects that are abandoned and that I do not want to do any more
-
