Restore Vanity URL #1
Description
After transferring ownership of the repository to Faintaisie Software, the Vanity URL ceases to work, resulting in a 404 Error page, so I had to remove it from the documents.
- Vanity URL: https://git.io/awesome-purebasic
- Points to: https://github.com/tajmone/awesome-purebasic
This happens because the original GitHub repository URL now redirects to the new official repository URL:
Somehow this redirection in not working via git.io.
I originally intended to remedy to this by forking the new repository under my user account, but it's not working due to the redirection taking precedence (which prevents me forking the repository, because it would recreate the original URL of the project).
I should look into it and try to make it work again. As far as I know, git.io vanity URLs can be overridden, but I'm not sure if they become available again on persistent 404 errors, if it will eventually pickup the GitHub redirection, or if there's a way to update it by contacting someone at Git.io.
It's a pity, it was easy to remember and short to print in signatures.
