Hi all, If you've recently tried to fork a Tor repository into your personal gitlab.torproject.org namespace and received an error, you’re not alone. This is a known limitation of our current GitLab setup. To address this, we are piloting a new contributor workflow designed to make it easier for community contributors like you to propose changes, open merge requests, and collaborate, without needing write access to Tor’s canonical GitLab repositories. We’ve created a shared GitLab group for contributor forks called tor-contributors[0]. This group hosts mirrored forks of selected Tor projects. When you want to contribute, you can request access to the relevant contributor fork, create a branch (e.g., username/fix-x), and open a merge request back to the canonical repository. We’re looking for contributors who are actively working on changes and would like to participate in this pilot by trying out the workflow and providing feedback. If that’s you, please follow the onboarding instructions[1]. To help keep things manageable, we ask that people only request access if they are preparing to open a merge request. If you're just curious or want to follow along, there is no need to request access, we will continue to share updates as the pilot evolves. Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback. Thanks, Micah 0. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tor-contributors/ 1. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tor-contributors/meta -- Micah Anderson (he/him) Director of Engineering The Tor Project, Inc. <https://torproject.org>
