Starting August 20, 2025, I will not be contributing to projects hosted on #GitHub via GitHub itself, unless I am paid handsomely for my troubles.

If I need to report an issue, or send a patch, I will either keep the report / patch to myself, publish it on my forge, or if I really, really want to contribute, I will send an e-mail. But opening an issue, or sending a PR on GitHub itself? Not going to happen, unless I'm paid for it.

yesterday I learned that repositories on github can have a .github/README.md file which will be shown in place of the regular readme when people view the repository on github

this is really useful for all your projects you're moving github where you still want to temporarily leave a mirror behind; instead of changing the default branch you can just have it render the github-specific readme that explains the situation, but people cloning from git will still see all the regular content:
