it's really easy because the codeberg importer is really good
it correctly imports all your pull requests and issues, preserving usernames, everything
you then put the new URL in the GitHub description and archive the project
and then a year down the line you delete the GitHub repository entirely
I moved about 70 projects, half a dozen with several hundred stars and forks
and each major project that leaves does n^2 damage to GitHub, it's the network effect in reverse!
