I’ve seen some projects on GitHub (howdy being one of them that came to mind) where there are forks, but when I check the forks out they are either unchanged, or are behind by a few commits. I was wondering why this would happen. It couldn’t be for archival purposes, could it?
I have done this just to preserve a thing in its current state because it looked like the main developer was gonna do something stupid and/or fuck it up.
