There's another wave of people leaving GitHub. I left GitHub 3 years ago after using it for decade -- I think? It doesn't show the date of registration anymore. Anyway, in 2018, I did this: - Set up self-hosting on my own server. - Changed the default branch of all GitHub repos to "has-moved", which only contained a README that pointed to the new location. - Changed all GitHub repos to "archived". What I did not do was to delete the actual code that was on GitHub. So there still was a "master" branch, for example. My intention was to not break links, but, uhm, it doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? There's just unmaintained code on GitHub now, rotting. Today, I fixed that. The repos still exist, but they only contain the "has-moved" branch now. All the code has been removed from GitHub, it lives on my server.
