   Rename GitHub, to TurdPit, and make Ambe

   Hi,   
      
   A 2020 study analyzing 2,927 GitHub projects found   
   that many repositories quickly become unmaintained.   
   This implies that the majority of projects don’t   
   sustain long-term active development.   
      
   Another study reported 46% of repositories inactive   
   for at least six months, and only 13% active in the   
   last month, showing low ongoing engagement   
   across most repos.   
      
   Because millions of repos exist on GitHub, and   
   large portions are abandoned, inactive, or minimal   
   “toy” projects, the fraction of repositories that are   
   well-maintained, collaborative, and used in   
   production contexts is low—roughly estimated   
   to be around 1–2%.   
      
   The caravan moves forth, leaving behind the   
   occasional turd perfectly captures GitHub. Rename   
   GitHub, to TurdPit, and make Amber Heard their CEO.   
      
   Bye
