Hi David,
Sorry to be chiming in late on this but I just saw the emails from last week and my attention was drawn to this bit:
https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-convention.github.io will become:
https://github.com/cf-convention/website
I?m absolutely not an expert on GitHub, but the help pages about publishing a website from a repository seem to indicate that it has to be called http(s)://<orgname>.github.io (see
https://help.github.com/en/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages). You can then set up a custom domain name to point to that repository, which is what we do with the cfconventions.org name. This would seem to suggest that if you rename the repository as above, the website might stop working. Is this something you?ve already looked into?
Best wishes,
Alison

Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Renaming of GitHub repositories
Hello,
Many apologies, but this week caught up with me, and I didn't get round to changing the repository names. But I will do it on Monday 8th July.
If you need to update a local repository, Guilherme pointed out that it might be a good idea to double check what you have before update the origin, with
$ git remote -v
For example, if you have a fork of cf-conventions called 'origin', then the above command might return ...
origin git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git<mailto:git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git> (fetch)
origin git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git<mailto:git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git> (push)
upstream git at github.com<mailto:git at github.com>:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (fetch)
upstream git at github.com<mailto:git at github.com>:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (push)
... and you wouldn't update 'origin; rather you would update 'upstream' in this case:
$ git remote set-url upstream
https://github.com/cf-convention/conventions.git
(I hope that I have got this right, Guilherme!)
All the best,
David

Hello,
Somewhat later than I had intended, and following on from Jonathan's well-received suggestions on this list (starting from 2019-03-22), I shall be renaming the following CF GitHub repositories:
https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions will become:
https://github.com/cf-convention/conventions
https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-convention.github.io will become:
https://github.com/cf-convention/website
I shall do this on Tuesday 2nd July (following the principle of never making changes that could affect other people just before the weekend).
Aside from needing to rename our browser bookmarks, this should have no adverse effects on most people.
However, if you have cloned either of these repositories, the old names should still work (according to
https://help.github.com/en/articles/renaming-a-repository), but it is best to rename the remote URL as follows, e.g. for the "conventions" site:
> git remote set-url origin https://github.com/cf-convention/conventions.git
(Don't take my word for it! See
https://help.github.com/en/articles/changing-a-remotes-url for more details, for example.)
Please let us know about any concerns that may still remain on this topic, all the best,
David
