Migrating to Cloud
For many years, github.tamu.edu has been the primary location for hosting code repositories for Texas A&M University faculty, staff, and students. However, the service has become redundant with the cloud-hosted version of GitHub Enterprise (GitHub.com) and often lags in feature sets and security patches. Therefore, github.tamu.edu is now deprecated in favor of all projects being hosted on Github Enterprise Cloud in the tamu-edu and tamu-edu-students organizations.
A timeline for deprecation will be:
- Jun 2022:
- A documentation website published with information on using GitHub Enterprise cloud and how to migrate to it.
- An announcement of the deprecation of
github.tamu.eduwith links to documentation sent to the community
- Dec 2023:
- No new repositories, organizations, or other resources will be allowed
- Monitoring for recent access begins
- Jun 2024:
- Appliance made read-only
- SSH access is blocked
- Aug 30, 2024:
- All data is archived and made read-only
- Sep 27, 2024:
- Appliance is shut down
- Sep 2025:
- Appliance data is deleted
