The question in [Wayback/Archive] git – What will happen when a pull request includes changes to ignored .gitignore? – Super User comes down to:
I don’t want anybody to change what’s in my
.gitignorefile because it includes some things that are specific to my own system.
Those settings should go in a personal gitignore file, which is mentioned in the [Wayback/Archive] Git – gitignore Documentation

Got an error when pushing a relatively large commit to GitLab: error: RPC failed; HTTP 502 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 502
There was no big difference in information between these commands¹:

Ook vandaag even een herinnering aan de NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie 2026 van (komende) donderdag 7 2026 mei in het Van der Valk Hotel Utrecht¹.
Deze keer omdat een goede vriend van me daar spreekt. Arjen Lentz heeft het over A Wizard’s Guide to Foreseeing the Unseen.
Dat klinkt misschien vaag, het concrete resultaat is dat je met analyse van CVE’s veel te weten komt over hun echte root cause. Die blijkt verrassend voorspelbaar, is fixbaar, en kennis daarover is niet alleen nuttig voor adversaries. Het kan jou namelijk helpen bij de development en selectie van wat je zelf gebruikt.
Het volledige programma staat hieronder², eerst de aankondiging van [Wayback/Archive] L⭕️rd Quux RCX CCX: “Over een week is het zover! De enige NLUUG conferentie van 2026. …” – Mastodon

Last 90 days uptime on 20260427 of the GitHub Platform: 87.25%
Because of two alternative GitHub status pages, a lot of people now realise that GitHub gives a rosier result than the official pages.
April uptime not even had one nine, dropping below 89%.
Which begs this interesting question
“How many other services are painting a far rosier picture than reality on their service status pages?” by Dare Obasanjo: “GitHub just published a blogpo…” – mas.to:

Via [Wayback/Archive] Importing a repository with GitHub Importer – GitHub Docs I found [Wayback/Archive] Import repository · GitHub which can import from Subversion, Mercurial, TFVC, and Git as per [Wayback/Archive] About GitHub Importer – GitHub Docs.
Note this will import the repository, but not any surrounding things (like tickets/issues, wiki, etc).
In that sense, the more than 10 year old [Wayback/Archive] SourceForge: GitHub Project Importer as documented in [Wayback/Archive] SourceForge Support / Documentation / GitHub Importer does a way better job the other way around.
If you want to import more than just a repository into GitHub, then some inspiration is at [Wayback/Archive] Migrate from Sourceforge to Github – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matthew Talbert, [Wayback/Archive] Masood Khaari, [Wayback/Archive] Thomas and [Wayback/Archive] Sergey Ponomarev) for instance with these tools:
Especially the last one is interesting as it allows you to separate tickets from repository import. This opens up the opportunity to do the svn to git conversion yourself and keep that conversion in place to you can use it to sync incoming svn changes towards the git repository.
The above does not cover CVS. For that, be sure to read these:

You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at
They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

During a Cloudflare outage¹, I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs
Decentralized static site hosting on the AT Protocol.
Wisp.place enables you to host static websites directly in your AT Protocol repository. Your Personal Data Server (PDS) holds the cryptographically signed manifest and files as the authoritative source of truth, while hosting services index and serve them with CDN-like performance.
This is the documentation of [Wayback/A] wisp.place by [Wayback/Archive] Ana (@nekomimi.pet) — Bluesky.

Interesting read: there is even an API for it (which you need to be logged on for in order not to get a rate limit): [Wayback/Archive] python – Some gists on github have very many forks. How can I find the most recently active and/or heavily modified? – Stack Overflow
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Michael Goldshteyn, [Wayback/Archive] rob006, [Wayback/Archive] Chankey Pathak and [Wayback/Archive] ikwyl6 for solving this both for gists and regular github repositories:
