Repo transfer to UtrechtUniversity #17

Open fliepeltje opened 1 year ago

fliepeltje commented 1 year ago

It is not documented how you would move an existing repository under the Utrecht University organization; using the transfer ownership function you lose administrative privileges to your own repository.

It works well enough if you make a repo directly under UtrechtUniversity but it is not intuitive on how to achieve the same result by moving an existing repo.

It is mentioned here

But it is probably a good idea to incorporate more elaborate instructions elsewhere

Ah I missed that!

But also, in spite of quite many years of experience with git/github, my experience with mirroring is quite limited. For that reason I think it might be nicer to have a tutorial on how to re-create your repository under UtrechtUniversity and then set that as a new origin.
