Very slow pull request merging? #230

@chrisallenlane would you consider adding more contributors to this repository that can help approve and merge pull requests? |
@chrisallenlane I would recommend adding more maintainers as cheat is great software but it has gotten dangerously stale as this repository hasn't seen a single new merged commit in >2 years now. cheat/cheat repository is looking slightly better but it had a year between 2022 and 2023 where it was commitless and since then has received 13 new commits. It can be hard to let others do work in your project without immediate supervision but the current situation is sadly just waiting for a fork to happen or cheat to die out. Surely it's better to supervise others doing the work for you than it is to have the project either die out or get forked by a new maintainer. I hope that you understand and take this advice kindly. |
@boredsquirrel, @AlJohri, @drjaska Sorry for the delay. I agree that development is stagnant. I'll explain the situation. Firstly - and critically - I am deeply, deeply burned out. Bluntly, I've mostly lost interest in open-source participation at this time. It's an endless time-commitment, and I'm increasingly short on time. I have other responsibilities and passions now, and less and less time to dedicate to this project. Regarding adding other maintainers - this is significantly more difficult than you might think, for a few reasons: Firstly, I've tried this before. Inevitably, I spend time getting someone up-to-speed (via email, in-person, whatever), and then they lose interest in the project, and contribute little or nothing. This is a 100% time waste for me, and deeply demotivating. Additionally, this puts me in a "managerial" role, and I have zero interest in being a manager - I just want to write code. Again, bluntly, if GitHub provided a mechanism for disabling pull-requests on a project, I would activate that mechanism here. I'm willing to share my own work, but am much less enthusiastic about being a "manager" of any sort. Secondly, I'm deeply fearful of a "Jia Tan" situation. Open-source supply-chain attacks are increasingly common, and I'm thus increasingly hesitant to give write access to an unknown stranger on the Internet. (And no-one that I know in-person has any interest in contributing to this project.) Given that the nature of Furthermore, I consider I'm also not sure if I'll also say that the Beyond that: the purpose of If there's a path forward here, I'd consider implementing compatibility with the In any case, thank you for the feedback, and I apologize for the stagnation. When time permits (likely during Christmas break), I'll see if I can find some time to implement compatibility with the |
heya Chris! I hear you, and largely agree with you. That being said, You're a smart cookie. While I can wholly understand your concern re a manipulation con.
IOW: The value of a pipeline attack to a bad actor here is pretty low ;) Not trying to downplay or diminish the significance or legitimacy of your concern... rather trying to help assuage the voice of anxiety, and properly scope the risk involved in this specific context. ;) I disagree that cheat's value prop is diminished with the advent of LLMs... you can get a LOT of bad guidance from LLMs ;) I do agree that combining forces with cheat.sh seems like a sane plan forward.... we all hate toil... why duplicate efforts? :) Regardless; I'm glad you're taking care of you first.. The people involved are more important than the tools they've made ;) ❤️🐺W |
I just wanted to ask if there is active administration
Cheat is an awesome project and I want to contribute to it, as there are many commands missing.
The system with tags and all is very good, and I tried to explain everything best.
But it seems for now noone even looked at these additions, and there are 27 more left open.
