↳ In-reply-to » I now have an archive of over 1,000,000 Git commits across 154 repositories with my archival script.

@ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net I track a lot of repositories with a risk of becoming unavailable for whatever reason. The script tracks how many times in a row Git fails to fetch updates, so I can tell when a remote dies.

However, since it’s so easy to add new ones, it’s mostly repositories which aren’t likely to disappear but carry a lot of value. For example, 143 MiB on my hard drive for the complete history of FFmpeg is a no-brainer for me.
