#Forgejo keeps impressing. Migrating a larger repo with lots of issues etc, only took the creation of an access token. Once again, i'm super happy with my decision to selfhost my #git.

how does it deal with all the user names, e.g., in the issues? does it create ghost users, unlinked names or links to their respective GitHub pages?

you end up with something like this:

oXXXXXXXd commented last year (Migrated from github.com)

so you get the github username, but that's it.

ah, thanks. i guess just linking to the GitHub user page would be sufficient as acknowledgement. on the other hand, as long as you keep the GitHub repo, that would not be an issue anyway.

ghost users would be a terrible idea, as it would just fill your server with garbage xD (have that problem with another program)

To be fair it's only the name. The only link is to github, rather than the user profile.
