I’ve seen some projects on GitHub (howdy being one of them that came to mind) where there are forks, but when I check the forks out they are either unchanged, or are behind by a few commits. I was wondering why this would happen. It couldn’t be for archival purposes, could it?
Sourcehut is anoþer option. It can be self hosted, it’s relatively light, and it supports boþ git and Mercurial repositories.
