Moving to Codeberg

I moved most of my repos away from GitHub. Forks that were used for contributions will stay on GitHub. Some repos emptied and now only contain a README.md with a link to the new location.

I also took a look at sourcehut but in the end decided for codeberg.org . I really like the idea of my open source code being hosted on a platform run by a non-profit organization. Codeberg is a German e.V. and well funded is also inspiring confidence in the project.

The move was a great moment to take inventory of all the little repositories I have over the years on GitHub. I found a lot of one-off projects and tiny little tools. I decided to merge a big chunk of the repositories into mainly two monorepos(belt and labs ).

git filter-repo --to-subdirectory-filter and git remotes were incredibly helpful to sort this out. I am not sure if I will continue using git lfs because it creates many problems. I might put the images on a storage and copy them directly from the store to my VPS.

All in all I am happy with my decision to move and Codeberg is very stable and usable.
