I assume you use 2 remotes where one is for pushing then? I liked: $ git config set --global url.ssh://git.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/.pushinsteadof https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/ Since I could use the mirror as my remote and then push to the same remote, and have it use ssh when pushing behind the scenes. That server now returns 502 errors when a git client tries to speak to it. However, its web interface works which confuses me. > This raises two questions: > * Pádraig, how are the mirrors of coreutils and gnulib on github set up? > Is it some old technique from GitHub, that is no longer available to > new repositories?

But the maintainer of a popular GNU Emacs extension, Magit, mirrors Emacs using a GitHub action [1]. It seems like a reasonable idea, but I would adjust it to attempt to use the mirrors. Let's not make the Savannah administrators lives harder. > Re codeberg: If/when codeberg.org gets dDoS'ed by malpeople and LLMs, > what will be their protections?
