Github organization cleaning and rebranding project

[pz-max]

The following describes a step-by-step instruction for A, rebranding & B, cleaning the repository/organization:

• Testing filter-repo in dummy repo pypsa-earth-test
• Move all compiled jupyter notebooks, images, doc/images, hackathon material to a new repository called pypsa-earth-auxilium (auxilium is latin and stands for 'support')
• Fix documentation (links to pypsa-earth-auxilium are required for images, renaming of links etc.)
• Create back-up. mirror clone PyPSA-Africa, git clone --mirror https://github.com/pypsa-meets-africa/pypsa-africa.git
• Rename GitHub organization
• Create empty organization pypsa-meets-africa with the repository pypsa-africa, pypsa-africa-hackathon & create a simple link to the new website/ repository
• Rename GitHub repository in pypsa-meets-earth
• Clean repository

1. First install filter-repo: pip install git-filter-repo
2. Add paths_i_want.txt to the folder in the root of pypsa-africa (generated by find . -type f > paths_i_want.txt and some manual labour)
3. Apply while being in path <path>/pypsa-africa the following command to clean the history git filter-repo --paths-from-file ../paths_i_want.txt
4. Check file size of folder (e.g. by right-click-properties or du – sh . git)
5. Check if remote path exist git remote -v
6. If there is nothing then git remote add origin https://github.com/pypsa-meets-africa/pypsa-earth.git
7. Push to the remote aka. GitHub server/website git push origin --mirror (--mirror will make sure that the remote will be clean)

Fixes:

• Fix readthedocs as maintainer (tried but readthedocs needs to update cache)
• Fix website (PyPSA-Africa/ or directly move to PyPSA-Earth)
• Fix jupyter notebooks (renaming/ path changes if needed)
• Fix Twitter (new links)
• Fix Linkedin page (new logo, rename)
• Fix personal email links
• Update pypsa-meets-africa calendly
• Protect PyPSA-Earth 'main' branch. Enable "Require a pull request before merging". & Enable "Require status checks to pass before merging"
• Diable my force push power
