Do forks go away together with the original repository when it's removed from Github?
- textadventure 2y agoIn this case it seems so, someone just uploaded the codebase again (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx
- mikae1 2y agoCodebase, but no releases...
- freeCandy 2y agoThey used to handle releases through github actions, so it should be fairly straightforward to set that up
- loufe 2y ago5 years out of date though, it would seem.

- bityard 2y agoEdit: I guess I'm wrong, see reply If a repository is removed by Github in response to a DMCA request, yes. (But it's not clear that that's what happened here.)
- tjhorner 2y agoThe forks aren't actually automatically taken down in most cases. The claimant must list every individual fork in the claim. Which I love, because it's kind of petty but still following the DMCA to the letter. Here is an example[1] of the form claimants must fill out. > Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down [1]: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/05/2024-05-31-nintendo-2.md https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/05/2024-05-3...
- 0xcde4c3db 2y agoIIRC it took them a couple months to get through all of the Yuzu forks after the initial DMCA and lawsuit. I doubt there were nearly as many forks of Ryujinx, though.
- ZeWaka 2y agoDepends on which type of removal they do, but they can be yes.
