What: Diffusion git hosting moving to GitLab [0][1]

What you can do: If you have not logged into
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ yet to attach your Developer account and
look around, now would be a great time!


Toolforge tool maintainers can use Striker
(<https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/>) to create git repositories for
each of their tools. Today these git repositories are hosted by
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/>. Starting on 2022-09-06
new repositories will be hosted under
<https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos> instead.

We will also be migrating the 474 existing Striker created
repositories from Diffusion to GitLab starting on Tuesday 2022-09-06.
This process will involve making each existing Diffusion repository
read-only, copying it to GitLab, and finally configuring the Diffusion
repo to be a read-only mirror of the GitLab repo. We hope that this
set of operations will be the least disruptive way to migrate the
repositories to the new hosting platform.

For tool maintainers with git repos that are migrating who *do not*
yet have their Developer account attached at
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/, GitLab will send an email invitation to
join the new repo. Because of some quirks of the login process that we
are using for our GitLab service, the link in this email needs to be
used *after* you have attached your account in order to grant you
access [3].
