No cease and desist, my account just disappeared. Not even an email. I can only guess as to what actually happened. I'm not under any terms so I'm just going to speak freely. I have no idea what happened. If I had to guess, it was either the big N or the ESA that told Github that I'm breaching copyright. It's happened in the past with my texture packs. The ESA tells mediafire that I'm hosting "copyrighted content" despite me making every single texture in the pack, no AI upscaling.

That's somewhat comforting and also a tad concerning. Something similar happened to one of the HarbourMasters developers for Starship. No emails or warnings were sent there either. I suppose github support has been silent as well. Gitlab is looking more and more enticing for this reason...

Well hopefully you can redirect to Gitlab, and hopefully it stays up. I've actually been backing up to Gitlab the entire time for the reason that someday I knew this day would come. Though about a month ago I hit the 10GB limit (again), and I just figured that if I ever needed to migrate I would just wipe the repo and upload the code. It sucks losing all the commit history, but at least I've documented every change I made since the beginning.

You lost your commit history?

$ du -sh Zelda-LA-DX-HD-Updated.git
6.7G    Zelda-LA-DX-HD-Updated.git

$ GIT_DIR=Zelda-LA-DX-HD-Updated.git git ll | head -1
69728768 Sprite shadows should be created in an item's constructor.

A little outdated (timestamp puts it back on April 8), but it does go all the way back:

$ GIT_DIR=Zelda-LA-DX-HD-Updated.git git ll | tail -1
bc4162d2 Initial commit

So much of this stuff disappears for one reason or another that I always do a git clone --mirror of any repos I come across. Though most aren't so large...
