Setup github org - generic CSL mods?

[originalfoo]

Regarding github org, I think we should consider setting up a generic one for CSL mods, not just something specific to TM:PE.

The possibility is that other mods could join under the banner, allowing other modders to more easily take over (or at least bugfix) if original author leaves the community. It would also aid discoverability of mods for any developer wanting to contribute.

Main potential issue I can currently think of is can each repo have it's own github pages, or is there only one pages per org? Also, I have no idea what other mod devs would think about the proposal.

Also, it would be nice if we could shrink the repo name from what it currently is Cities-Skylines-Traffic-Manager-President-Edition to just TMPE. Would make sharing links to the repo so much nicer: https://github.com/CSLMOD/TMPE for example, although not sure what would happen to existing forks, etc.

Makes little sense unless you have more candidate mods waiting.
CitiesSkylinesMods
CSMods
Some unrelated mod belonging to a TMPE brand is not bad either :)

According to github docs:

When you rename a repository, all existing information, with the exception of project site URLs, is automatically redirected to the new name

In addition to redirecting web traffic, all git clone, git fetch, or git push operations targeting the previous location will continue to function as if made on the new location. However, to reduce confusion, we strongly recommend updating any existing local clones to point to the new repository URL.

and also

Warning: If you create a new repository under your account in the future, do not reuse the original name of the renamed repository. If you do, redirects to the renamed repository will break.

About Github Pages:

There are three types of GitHub Pages sites: project, user, and organization

User and organization sites are always published from a repository named <user>.github.io or <organization>.github.io. Unless you're using a custom domain, user and organization sites are available at http(s)://<username>.github.io or http(s)://<organization>.github.io.

The source files for a project site are stored in the same repository as their project. Unless you're using a custom domain, project sites are available at http(s)://<user>.github.io/<repository> or http(s)://<organization>.github.io/<repository>.

looks good! let's try and get this setup for v11.2 (month or two from now?) allowing us to also do #659.

BTW, I like @kvakvs ideas for the org name in #673 (comment)

For discovery I'd go with CitiesSkylinesMods

For brevity, we have the tmpe.me domain for TM:PE docs.

EDIT: And the repo would be TMPE -> github.com/CitiesSkylineMods/TMPE

Setting up an Organisation takes approx 5 minutes and old links and refs to the old address continue working. Ping @krzychu124 let's do this :)

[krzychu124]

OK, so org name CitiesSkylinesMods and repo TMPE, right? @aubergine10

[originalfoo]

@krzychu124 Yes :)

[krzychu124]

Do we need separate e-mail for org?

[kvakvs]

No, keep your own, i guess.

Repository transferred to organization, looks good 😃
