This is the benefit of using distributed tools like git.
Yeah, the code history is the easiest thing to migrate. The other stuff like issues relies on having a good exporting/importing tool on both sides.
Yea tons of devs treat all of these platforms like the central host, but you can host it on all of them at once lol
Wonder if there’s a tool for compiling all issues from seperate sources to allow devs with repos hosted on several different platforms to respond easier.
Also feels like a way to get repeat issues more frequently
Yea, would probably call for integrating the actual issues into git too lol
Ooh, I didn’t know that someone had developed a mechanism to move issues and PRs.
I remember commenting on the fact that while it’s easy to move the source repo itself from location to location, as git makes that easy and self-contained, issues and PRs didn’t enjoy that.
organic maps ftw!
A bit of a different tone from when they announced that they were blocked. It was much more neutral (GitHub enforcing US law).

[why blocked?] "a contributor made a push from a sanctioned region is what i saw. not even a main dev, and they didn’t receive any warning is my understanding. i might be way off, i’m not a final source:
Not that I condone Microsoft, but if it is a sanctioned country (Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.). Microsoft will be in shit with the US government if they let it there.
If the project has contributors from there, then I guess they need to move off GitHub like they did.
This is a really strong argument for not depending on non-federated, centrally controlled services. It doesn’t matter which country or company is behind Your Favorite Service™, they can be legally mandated to by Oppressive Regime (“it could never happen in my country!”), or they could just be arbitrary assholes.
I don’t care why Microsoft did it. I moved off Github when MS acquired them, although in this case it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Regardless, what it proves is that you can not rely on a monopoly.
So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.
Seems like a vulnerability to exploit
Step 1: Get write access to the project you dislike.

It doesn’t seem like a very “walled” garden if they were able to migrate all their data including issues and comments
