transfer repo #22

Closed mdscheuerell closed 1 year ago

mdscheuerell commented 1 year ago

I think it would be best to transfer this repo away from me and over to @ebuhle. If not, perhaps one of the WDFW folks could suggest an alternative?

ebuhle commented 1 year ago

LOL. I can't say I was waiting for it, but I'm not surprised either. Sorry for all the spam, @mdscheuerell.

I would be happy to host this repo, but if there is a "proper" GitHub way of transferring the contents from one user to another, I'm unaware of it. @mdscheuerell, what would you suggest as the cleanest and least hacky / error-prone approach?

The biggest problem I can see is that all the existing Issues would presumably remain here. Many of them are still open and active, and even the closed ones contain important archival material -- I was just reading through several of them when you created this one.

(W)hat would you suggest as the cleanest and least hacky / error-prone approach?

It's rather straightforward and it preserves pretty much everything re access, issues, etc. You can read an overview here.

It's actually been kind of nice to eavesdrop on the conversation 😉.

Whoa, amazing! I had no idea. Well, it sounds like you would just need to transfer it to me and I would confirm the transfer. I would propose also renaming it to /LCRchumIPM. Presumably anyone interfacing with the repo via RStudio would need to manually update the target in Project Options?

If that's all there is to it, I say go ahead. And since you'd be automatically added as a contributor, you would still get to eavesdrop.

Success! The repo has been transferred to my account and renamed LCRchumIPM.

@kalebentley @tbuehrens @Hillsont @BradGarnerWDFW If you are using RStudio's GitHub integration, you can still push and pull without changing anything; the old origin URL will be automatically redirected. You will see a message indicating that the origin URL has changed and reminding you to update it. To do that:

  1. Go to the Git pane, click the More (gear) menu, then New Terminal.
  2. Following the instructions here, type git remote set-url origin <new-url>. I use SSH to connect RStudio to GitHub, so in my case <new-url> is git@github.com:ebuhle/LCRchumIPM.git.

That's it! I'm pleasantly shocked at how painless this was. It really does just work.

So long @mdscheuerell (to your user account, anyway), and thanks for all the fish. :fishing_pole_and_fish:

Thanks @ebuhle. When I opened the existing .Rproj file and hit "pull", I got a message saying that a bunch of files would be overwritten and so the action was aborted. Therefore, I just moved the chumIPM folder and cloned the newly created LCRchumIPM repo. Seems to have done the trick.

ebuhle commented 1 year ago

Huh. @mdscheuerell, any idea what that's about? I mean, a bunch of files should be overwritten, assuming @kalebentley didn't have recent commits (of which there've been many). Guess it doesn't matter now, but hopefully others won't run into this.

mdscheuerell commented 1 year ago

I'd have to see what the specific issue was, but I would have expected things to be overwritten unless @kalebentley did not have everything committed and pulled on his side first.
