Use e.g. Forgejo, Codeberg, Gitea, GOGS, Source Hut or something else instead, please, and GitHub can turn into the graveyard that it should've become long ago.

Thanks for bringing it up.

This one can't be taken down easily as it is fully distributed, not a centralised service.

Edit: GitLab's migration from GitHub works just fine for large repos, but it's not that much of an improvement compared to GitHub.
