This is one of those github repositories that you just clone and move on.

Don't fork, just clone to your local system. When it gets taken down the forks will disappear, whereas the clones will not. You can also just download a zip file.

"Making an imaginary-ish copy that stays on the big Microsoft-owned system is mostly unnecessary and probably not enough to keep it around, make sure you save a copy on your own computer that they can't get to."

Don't want to be (too) condescending, but, as an old-timer it's kind of wild to me that people who work with tech a lot do actually sometimes need to be reminded of this.

It continues to amaze me that so many people in my profession (software) don't know that Git is "decentralized".

GitHub et al have taken over so ubiquitously that many developers I know have no idea that a bunch of what they do isn't even Git, and a bunch of what they don't do, is.

Wonder if they pay any attention to who wrote it as well. :)
