History loss upon migration

Hello, thank you for taking ownership of the library. I’m wondering if you could fork the opsfranco repo and maintain history.

Maintaining history has a lot of benefits and it’s what allowed me to contribute a minor fix to the opsfranco repo.

Thanks for considering it.

Exactly the same thought.

It’s also worth noting that not forking the repository makes it look like the code was written by a sole author, which is simply not true. It can be viewed as dishonest by some.

If you have any issues while setting this repository up with prior history, I’m happy to help in any way that I can. It should take a couple of minutes to set this up properly. Thank you.

Two options for acquiring the diff: diff the first and last commit of this, history erased, repo or add both of the repos in the same local repo and cherry pick the commits.
