(the Exodus to GitLab) Make this repo readonly? #386

Open fiznool opened 4 years ago

fiznool commented 4 years ago

Since the move to GitLab, it probably makes sense to mark this repo as readonly, and put a notice in the README that the repo is now hosted on GitLab? Otherwise new issues (like mine...) are likely to be posted here.

For anyone else who lands here, use the GitLab repo instead of posting issues to this repo.

Hi. Yes, I've been thinking on how should I proceed. It would be a good idea maybe to keep issues here, given that everyone's accustomed to GitHub UI and it's much more user-friendly than GitLab's UI. Maybe I'll just leave a README saying that all sources have been moved to GitLab, and then will add a note in the readme that issues can be reported anywhere people want to. I'll settle on something.

Sure, but wasn’t the point of moving to GitLab so that anything host-specific (issues, pull requests etc) are not with GitHub? 🙂

Maybe ) I don't know yet.

At this point, you are still using Microsoft/GitHub anyway since GitHub has acquired NPM.

Sure. As I've already said, you can't live in a cave if you plan to reach out to any significant amount people. That's why I decided to keep copies of all repos here on GitHub. I'll come up with some sort of a script that will automatically push to GitHub when I push to GitLab. Or maybe something like that. There has to be marketing. Without marketing, even the best thing in the world wouldn't be known about.
