Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

Sadly there doesn't appear to be an official Azure DevOps Pipeline for the yuzu-android repo,
so be cautious with following forks!

After searching Github for yuzu-android, and then sorting on "Recently Updated":
https://github.com/search?q=yuzu-android&type=repositories&s=updated

I'd guess one of the following will be the latest yuzu-android code bases:

Looks like software heritage has it archived, up to yesterday's commit: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu-android

They also archived other yuzu git repos: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=github.com%2Fyuzu-emu%2F&with_visit=true&with_content=true

Might want to grab anything that looks important there in case it got taken down too. That yuzu.wiki repo seems important because it contains instructions on how to build yuzu.

Is there any way to download the whole git repo with history from that archive? Their FAQ seems to indicate there's a way:

If absolutely needed, you can use the more expensive “revision” option of the Download button, that will prepare for you the equivalent of a git bare clone , which you will be able to use offline. This may require quite some time (hours, or even days for huge repositories).

But when I got to a repo I don't see a "revision" option when I click the download button...
