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:

I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go
The reason I needed it is that for quite a while now, GitHub has started to display PDF files as preview, and modified the download behaviour to get a blob: link instead of the actual raw file download location.
On the to do list:
- figure out the same for raw files in gists
- figure out the same for GitLab
- convert these into Bookmarklets (fiddle with the bold parts in the above URLs)
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Lotaristo (Czeslaw Meyer) and [Wayback/Archive] byrneh (Hugh Byrne)

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia
Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to build, test and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.
On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.
I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.

Some notes as it might enable me to install software that homebrew has deprecated or removed (note that local changes by default are ignored as the brew API takces precedence):
Despite the homebrew repository being a high commit-volume one which makes following it from a clone hard, just did already clone it Read the rest of this entry »

The odd thing is that SourceForge has (sf.net) a GitHub project importer (for more than 10 years now!), but not vice versa. You can import a SVN repository in GitHub, but that’s far from importing a complete sf.net project.
More on the importer to import GitHub to SourceForge below, but first the other way around:
These steps worked to get xn-resource-editor.sf.net into github.com/jpluimers/XN-Resource-Editor-TWM (which I did because the GitHub web UI is so much better at browsing and searching commits and files than the SourceForge web UI):

Most of what I share is in text or picture form but every once in a blue moon I need to share small binaries publicly in a way mere mortals can use.
Since neither GitHub gists nor GitLab snippets support other binary files than images*, and most Pastebin sites are text-only I queried [Wayback/Archive] binary pastebin – Google Search which got me to [Wayback/Archive] Binary pastebin | boltblog.
That in turn pointed to [Wayback/Archive] Pastebin (paste.c-net.org) which has a full page of help, including this important bit:

As a keyboard person, I prefer to live on the CLI (command-line interface), so when possible I prefer command-line tools over GUI tools (especially since command-line tool are way easier to script).
In the past on non-Windows systems I used gist (see below), but that is not available on Windows unless you have a Ruby environment.
Some notes on Windows to install and authenticate GitHub CLI (gh) and GitLab CLI (glab), both of which I previously mentioned in Tribal Knowledge? Getting the public keys from github and gitlab users from their username.
For me, installing is easiest through Chocolatey (version numbers from the time of writing; the non-archived URLs point to the most current version available):
This was my install script:
