Repository Move Timeline and Steps

This document outlines the timeline and steps necessary to move the okd.io repo to the new repository.

I did a test to verify that transferring a GitHub repo from one account to another works:

• all code and branches get transferred
• issues get transferred and kept assignees
• pull requests got transferred and could be merged after the transfer completed
• discussions got transferred

Forking a repo only pulls the code and branches. The issues, pull requests and discussions don't come over to the forked repo.

When transferring the repo the recipient gets an e-mail requesting them to accept the repo - so we need to ensure the new account owner is available and can access e-mail when performing the transfer

When moving okd.io repo we will need to synchronise with the Red Hat team that manages DNS to redirect https://okd.io traffic to the new location. The okd.io site may be down for a few minutes during the transfer and DNS update

Diane contacting Red Hat people to coordinate transfer of repos and update CNAME record. Once this is coordinated we will schedule the move
