I only have 1 project left on GitHub. It's a tiiiiny bit popular. Not huge, but I have a decent amount of stars on it. I know some people use it in automated work flows.
I've actually been thinking about how to get it off GitHub for a while now. Any tips? Ideally without breaking everyone and pissing everyone off? Or at least with minimal disruption...
The code doesn't care where it lives. You could probably automatically push the changes to Github and whatever you end up using as the official source. Linux does that as well.
You can archive the repo and write that the project moved elsewhere.
