You keep working since Git is decentralized.

You can also run a Forgejo instance (the software that powers Codeberg) locally - it is just a single binary that takes a minute to setup - and setup a local mirror of your Codeberg repo with code, issues, etc so you have access to your issues, wiki, etc until Codeberg is up and Forgejo (though you'll have to update them manually later).

I hope Codeberg is able to scale up to this surge in interest, but

is really cool! Having a local mirror also presumably gives you the means to build tools on top, to group and navigate and view them as best works for you, which could make that side of the process so much easier.

What does the manually part mean here? Just that you'll have to remember to do a `forgejo fetch` (or whatever equivalent) to sync it up?
