Is it possible to migrate git repository to github or gitlab?
sf.net web interface does not allot to dowload patch of exact commit over https://
IMO it woild be good to mirate compeltly to github or gitlab because both ar eoffering way netter interface.
I maintain a clone of it on GitHub here:

Thank you :)
Just checked and looks like in sf.net repo there afe still two more commits rhan in git.
As already id created git repo on github IMO it woud be better to sync what is in github and make it primary.
Other thing is that in github is possible eneble dicussions tab (you can find it in repo settings).
Correction: sf.net has 3 more commits than github.
we have a mailing list already if you want to discuss things
guthub discussions are way better bacuae you can way eadier eneble/disable flow of of comments from entire dicussion or only exact thread,
Other thing is that whatever is mentioned in discussion like issue ticket or PR it is automatically linked. github as well links issues/PRs/discussions from other repos if they will be mentioned so it is easier to work if some sunbject is streaching across multipole repos.
Trust me .. it is rral value to move away from mailing list.
Guthub automatically sends release notifications when repo is tagged and made release to those who only wants to watch releases notyfications.
All that it is only tip of the iceberg.
not everyone agrees that pure web interfaces are better than mailing lists
For a new and active project I would probably change it, but in this maintenance mode i would not expect much discussions and dont want to split the communication. we do accept PR and issues on github (and i pushed the missing commits).
You can ioterract with github dicussions olnly over email as well.
