That moment when that peculiar fork of a library that one of your colleagues required in a project disappears on github.

    @practiseSafeHex nope those people who put curly braces on the next line, despite the automatic linting tools which runs on the ci box

    @rusty-hacker thats odd, what have you setup your CI to enforce the wrong way?

    Sorry about asking, but why would you be setting a fork as a dependency? Isn't it better to use the original?

    @jpichardo valid question. I asked the maintainer of the fork if he could restore the repository and why some colleague of mine would bother using it. He did both, and explained that one might want his fork as it provides the transpiled CoffeeScript. So you can use the fork faster than the original. Another reason is the bower search engine, as if you searched for the project, the fork was the first one to pop up.

    In the end: if you want to be able to always build your project, use a github proxy.
