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?

Quick little script I run as a cron job. Script was authored by Claude Code. I’m not home right now but any llm can probably get you 95% of the way there. Remind me in a couple days if you don’t get something. Sorry I’m traveling right now

Edit: some details… it uses the gitea api repos/migrate endpoint after getting a list of repos from the github api. Super simple.

You could prob do in real-time with some webhooks but I don’t need anything like that. I just need a one time migration.

Also, mine doesn’t keep in sync with the upstream yet. I need another process to do that.
