Learning Basics
here's the official guide/documentation: https://docs.libretro.com/

Retroarch website down (hacked)
We'll deal with it. Looks like it's just the web host, so not that big of a deal. docs.libretro.com and buildbot.libretro.com should still be fine.

How to boot the GameCube BIOS
I just PRed a blurb that outlines that process based on your comment. Does this look right to you? https://github.com/libretro/docs/pull/840

Cheats for 3DS retroarch?
So, what have you tried for the cheats? Did you make sure the core you're using is compatible with RetroArch's cheats (you can find this information on the cores' pages at docs.libretro.com)?
-
Opinions on fixing some issues
Sure. You can send PRs to the docs repo https://github.com/libretro/docs/
- Bios files not showing up anywhere not even in download folder where they are
-
Are Flycast and Saturn emulators not working?
A log would tell us more, but did you do any of the required setup for those cores? They need BIOS images to function. See the cores' pages on docs.libretro.com for more details.
-
How do you keep up with which cores are fastest, most accurate, etc?
Emulation Wiki and Libretro docs.

How to get my old commits to show up on my profile?
So starting in August 2017, there was a repository called (https://github.com/libretro/docs/) that I contributed frequently to.

Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git
> I’ve been running that for a couple of years in this repo: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup - which provides a backup of my blog’s PostgreSQL Django database (first converted to SQLite and then dumped out using sqlite-
I'm curious, what is the reason you chose not to use pgdump, but instead opted to convert to to sqlite and then dump the DB using sqlite-diffable?
On a project I'm working on, I'd like to dump our Postgres schema into individual files for each object (i.e., one file for each table, function, stored proc, etc.), but haven't spent enough time to see if pgdump could actually do that. We're just outputting files by object type for now (one tables, function, and stored procs files).

WordPress Core to start using SQLite Database
My personal blog runs on Django + PostgreSQL, and I got fed up of not having a version history of changes I made to my content there.
I solved that by setting up a GitHub repo that mirrors the content from my database to flat files a few times a day and commits any changes.
It's worked out really well so far. It wasn't much trouble to setup and it's now been running for nearly three years, capturing 1400+ changes.
I'd absolutely consider using the same technique for a commercial project in the future:

How Postgres Triggers Can Simplify Your Back End Development
If you really, really need to be able to see a SQL schema representing the current state, a cheap trick is to run an automation on every deploy that snapshots the schema and writes it to a GitHub repository.
I do a version of that for my own (Django-powered) blog here: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup/blob/main...

Blog with Markdown and Git, and degrade gracefully through time
My blog is Django and PostgreSQL on Heroku, but last year I decided I wanted a reliable long-term public backup... so I set up a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to back it up to a git repository.
Bonus feature: since it runs nightly it gives me diffs if changes I make to my content, including edits to old posts.
The backups are in this repo: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog-backup
