Hi all! Thank you for reviewing my list of the Wikimedia org's GitHub projects!
A *lot* of repos were archived or deleted. Additionally, I archived all projects that contained nothing but a ".gitreview" without a corresponding Gerrit repository. As a result, we've gone from 296 repositories exclusively on GitHub to 154 repositories exclusively on GitHub. I believe this removed a lot of cruft and now all 2,038 repos on Wikimedia's GitHub org are either: * A mirror of a Gerrit repo (1,881 repos) * A mirror of a Differential repo (3 repos) * A project developed on GitHub or a fork of another GitHub project (154 repos) I've updated the list of projects[0] that are exclusive to GitHub (GitHub fork or a project developed on GItHub) if you'd like to take a look. Thanks again for all your help! <3 -- Tyler [0]. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/GitHub#Projects_on_GitHub> On Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 4:46 PM Tyler Cipriani <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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?
