Some of the git.io URLs I've seen in the UI don't appear to resolve to this repository about oh-my-fish HOT 21 CLOSED

Nope, we forgot to update those links, could you open a PR fixing them? It would be very welcome!

from oh-my-fish.

I'm curious if @github would be willing to modify the short URLs and fix it that way.

from oh-my-fish.

Let me see if I can gather a list of them.

Oh it looks like the message in #60 was just updated to not use git.io but the full link.

from oh-my-fish.

That leaves:

• https://git.io/omf ➡️ https://github.com/fish-shell/oh-my-fish/raw/master/bin/install
  • in Travis (WTF! Why isn't CI failing left and right?!)
• https://git.io/oh-my-fish ➡️ https://github.com/fish-shell/oh-my-fish
  • -h

from oh-my-fish.

I think the former should be fixed up by one of the many PRs that will be applied to .travis.yml. That leaves the latter. I'll contact GitHub and see if they would be willing to change that short URL.

Or the alternative, setup fish-shell/oh-my-fish to redirect here.

from oh-my-fish.

Perhaps @bucaran could help us with the redirect?

from oh-my-fish.

If the repository is transferred, it would have already setup a redirect. I don't think you can make redirects other than with transferring.

from oh-my-fish.

GitHub support was able to delete the original URL. I was able to reregister a new vanity URL. Unfortunately, I had to append a # to the end of the URL as someone had already put the https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish URL to another git.io URL.

Awesome!! Thanks man!!

from oh-my-fish.

@nelsonjchen Thanks. There is no way to remove git.io URLS, other than contacting GitHub.

git.io/oh-my-fish points to https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish#

Also, even if you transfer repos, all redirects are preserved, so other than a naming inconsistency, nothing stops working.

from oh-my-fish.

Great work on contacting github!

looks like /omf still points to fish-shell?

from oh-my-fish.

It does but it looks like the only use of that in the codebase is in Travis. It's not in a user facing GUI.

from oh-my-fish.

Nope, git.io/omf should point to the raw of https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/blob/master/bin/install, which lets you curl -L git.io/omf | sh

from oh-my-fish.

I'll just reopen this issue then. It does seem pretty convenient but it should probably be documented in the readme once that URL is fixed.

from oh-my-fish.

Another formed fill and sent to GitHub support.

from oh-my-fish.

It was there originally.

from oh-my-fish.

Github Support deleted the original short URL at omf.

https://git.io/omf now points to the URL @bucaran says it should be. 👍 :)

from oh-my-fish.
