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.

If I wanted to save an important repo, I would run a command like this:

  ssh user@rsync.net "git clone --mirror https://github.com/widevindump/Netlix-4K-Script github/2021-12-27-widevindump_Netlix-4K-Script"
... which works because the 'git' binary is maintained on rsync.net and can be executed over ssh[1].

I'd delete this comment if I were you. The copyright cartels have ended lives for less.

edit: I tried to keep it simple so that a null-edit would suffice to scrub the comment in question. But since I have to explain - the author runs the service for which they're providing instructions. This creates a straightforward argument that they intend their service to be used for storing forbidden files. Such "contributory infringement" is exactly how the copyright cartels have gone after youtube-dl, Popcorn Time, and many other general tools.

I mirrored it and am not affiliated, so we can now flag their comment for their protection
