Should you move all of your github repos away from there on a Friday?

Well, it depends! But maybe you could move one repo?

#GetOffGithub #BoycottMicrosoft #BDSUSA

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:

⚠️ 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.

I really need to get around to deleting my account

#getOffGithub

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

Can't even read Issue comments on GritHub now in a Firefox-based mobile browser without running their proprietary JavaScript. Just gives me flashing blanks;

https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/446

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!

MINI RANT TIME.... #openSource is the hashtag to use when bending over and want to serve the #corporateState.... it could probably be labelled, #openWide or #openSeason, take ur pick.

#FOSS is the hashtag to use when you care about #freedom. Some other good ones are #Libre and #copyleft

#github is the microshaft platform to use when u want OpenSeason on ur software. If yuo do FOSS on #griftHub ur work will be stolen by #microshaft and handed over to the corporates, using the excuse, "the 'AI' stole it".

If u are using GriftHub, u are part of the problem, either due to ur #ignorance, or malevolence. This includes the #bitcoin ppl.

Gitlab is also quite nasty as it requires javascript to browse a repository, and its official service (gitlab.com) is via cloudflare, Avoid using for anything other than backup/#collateralFreedom.

Please look in #forgejo and #forgeFed and other types of forges /END RANT

Its that time of the month when i remind in a friendly way that using #grifthub will kill your cute, rare, purple kitten.

it will kill your kitten[1] faster than even masturbating.
