I believe the ASF blog[1] to have a much better title: "The Apache® Software Foundation Expands Infrastructure with GitHub Integration"
"joins" sounds very wrong to me. Apache has had a Github account for years and the mirrors have existed for years as well.
The ASF still hosts their own Git repositories at https://gitbox.apache.org/ https://gitbox.apache.org/ In fact all ASF projects needed to migrate from the old git-wip to gitbox just recently (December 2018) [2] and in that announcement they said: "When your project has moved, you are free to use either the ASF repository system (gitbox.apache.org) OR GitHub for your development and code pushes"
So I believe the ASF still hosts a fully up-to-date git repository for each of their projects that use git. It's just that the integration has gotten much better between ASF infrastructure (e.g. Jira) and Github.

- zaat 7y agoAccording to the announcement: >In February 2019, the migration to GitHub was complete, and the ASF's own git service was decommissioned. P.S - the links you provided are not formatted correctly, and leads to 404 pages due to trailing '>'
- lars_francke 7y agoSorry for the broken links. Yes, you are correct, that's what it says in the announcement but that is not correct. The "old" ASF git stuff was decommissioned, yes. It's a bit misleading.
