A small, mouse-shaped rock formationIn 2026, my forge reached higher availability than GitHub. In 2027, can we make it have higher traffic too?
By getting off of GitHub, of course. Make it sink.

is a GreenShould you move all of your github repos away from there on a Friday?
Well, it depends! But maybe you could move one repo?
The easiest day of the week to move your repos is a Monday, unless its a Tuesday.
What project have you just relocated away from github? Show off your work!
Its time to get off github! Its Microsoft and its part of the problem.
Obviously, this isn't easy, so think about how many repos you can move in a week. Make a plan and start carrying it out.
If your team or your work uses this, you'll need the support if comrades. Ask your union for help. Male a business case for the switch.
You can start moving your personal projects before your work agrees to also move.
One at a time, make it happen.

If you want to get off #GitHub and want to export your data (like repos, followers, stars), I've written a #CLI tool (7 years ago!) that should help with that:
export-my-github:
https://github.com/janriemer/export-my-github
⚠️ Warning: The tool _hasn't seen an update in 7 years_, so it might be broken. If you experience issues, please report them and I'll try to fix them.
this will line us up to #getOffGithub the rest of the way, but I don't think we necessarily need to do both at the same time
github has been the fallback method for submitting patches since we moved the primary repository to sourcehut in 2020
we've had a few people continue to use it, but most have been willing to try something new--if you still refuse to look at non-github projects in 2025 it's time to grow up
StrypeyCan't even read Issue comments on GritHub now in a Firefox-based mobile browser without running their proprietary JavaScript. Just gives me flashing blanks;

The enshittification continues. Yet loads of people are still hosting their Free Code development on GritHub, instead of just using it as a dumb mirror to redirect people to their actual code forge. If that's you, please *please*, don't do that.
Let's get forge federation working!
