I'm currently planning my #GitHubExit and I am wondering what the best option is to make my repos still discoverable but not in the hands of Microsoft (at least from now on).

A) Should I just add a hint to the readme and archive the repo?
B) Delete the git history and just add one commit with the new URL in the readme?
C)Delete the whole repository?
D) something different

@guerda Mirror on GitHub. Possibly as a discovery feature, and a feedback gathering tool.

@guerda Make GitHub/GitLab your linkfarm, promote each migrated repo on the fediverse and everywhere else. Wait some time (some weeks or whatever suits you) and then delete your link farms.
