Hi all! If you've never created a repo or fork on the Wikimedia GitHub organization you can skip this email. I know that some repos are developed on our GitHub org for reasons. What is developed on our GitHub org? How many things are actively being developed on GitHub org? I have no idea :) I recently realized that there's not a great way to figure this out[0], but I've been able to narrow the scope a bit. Now I have a list of repos that are (a) in our GitHub org and (b) not in our Gerrit that I could use some help sorting through[1]. == Help, please == * Look through repos on The List™[1] If your repos are on the list, for each of your repos either: * Archive or Delete it if it's no longer maintained or empty/useless, respectively (and remove them from the list on mw.org)[2] Or: * put a "{{tick}}" in the "Active" column on the list on mw.org == Why== In a more perfect future we could add the "mirror"[3] tag to repos on GitHub that are mirrored from Gerrit (with a link to their canonical repo locations; for example, gnome-deskop has this[4] and I'm very jealous). Hopefully, this will help folks wanting to contribute -- either a Wikimedia GitHub repo is a mirror (in which case there's a link to Gerrit in the description) or it's actively being developed on GitHub. <3 -- Tyler [0]: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237470#6407509> [1]: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/GitHub#Projects_on_GitHub> [2]: < https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositori… [3]: < https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/finding-ways-… [4]: <https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-desktop> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
