Hi @jezdez, do you have a rough estimate of when you'll have time for this?

[tim-schilling]

@jezdez The main task I have remaining is transfering the GitHub org to my account so I can transfer it into Django Commons. We don't need to do that synchronously. Would you have time to initiate that transfer to my account in the next week?

[jezdez]

@tim-schilling Sounds good, I just tried to initiate it and GitHub responded with:

tim-schilling/django-debug-toolbar already exists and You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time

and when I tried django-commons:

You don’t have the permission to create public repositories on django-commons

[tim-schilling]

Ack. Sorry about that. I renamed my clone. Can you try again? If that doesn't work I'll delete it.

[jezdez]

tim-schilling already has a repository in the jazzband/django-debug-toolbar network and You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time

[tim-schilling]

Deleted the repo.

[jezdez]

I think this triggered a limit, I now get:

You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time

[jezdez]

I'll try later again

[tim-schilling]

We can add you to django commons so you can transfer it directly in too. I'll get that setup, the invite lasts a week if that the route you want to take.

[tim-schilling]

I thought you'd be able to transfer it to me out of an org, but I guess not. It might need to go Jazzband -> jezdez -> tim-schilling -> django-commons

[jezdez]

@tim-schilling just requested the transfer to you (from my account), seems like it wasn't sufficient for me to be added to django-commons 🤷🏻

[tim-schilling]

Accepted. Thank you @jezdez! I wish GitHub was incentivized to make this easy, but I'm glad we found a working solution.

No problem, ironically this has been hard ever since Jazzband existed, usually when I onboarded projects, and I've come to accept that GitHub just doesn't care that much about it. I've spoken about that with their support a number of times over the years

[tim-schilling]

That's frustrating, but good for setting expectations.
