1. repo-lockdown

   1 7 144 4.9 JavaScript

   GitHub Action that immediately closes and locks issues and pull requests

   

   GitHub makes this unnecessarily worse by refusing to let you disable Pull Requests like one can disable the other social features (Wiki etc) of a repository: https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github/issues/84

   The workaround is to use GH Actions to auto-close PRs: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/repo-lockdown

   Discontinued IRC gateway for slack, running on localhost for one user. The project is now on codeberg.

   > Really? Just a git command, a button press on GitHub? So why don't they just do it? Why don't they apply the patches when people send the code in then?

   Because the patch was bad.

   > Something like a month later the guy just rewrote the patch without even engaging with me.

   Do you think he'd have done that if the patch was good? Was his version completely identical to yours?

   > Yeah, that made me feel like shit

   At least it didn't introduce a new bug to every user… I'm sure collective feelings of the userbase were less harmed in this case.

   > Sorry but maintainers don't have the moral superiority to demand free labor

   But you have the moral superiority to demand free labour from maintainers, to review, improve, test your patch?

   Look at this pull request for example: https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc/pull/387

   How could a thing like that be merged?

   When asked to split it, he just proceeded to open tens of pull requests that were all based on the previous one, in a chain. And every commit contains thousands of lines of unrelated changes with what the description is.

   Then he got upset.
