📚 Summary

Open up the repo so it's public.

To do so the old website backups need to be moved to a new repo website-pre-2022. This repo can contain the full backups of the pre migrated website. They must be encrypted.

To do so the following needs to happen.

All of the history before adding the new website structure needs to be moved to the backup repo.

the custom modules blog and tags needs to be placed in it's own project.

Workflow for this repo and to migrate the changes:

Create a new branch from commit (the new data)

git branch clean-git-history b58a76134c8ad8da778756ad1c7e052aa057feb0
Confirm none of the old git history is included
Push the master and dev to the new repo
Delete the master and dev branches
Create an empty master branch
Create a new empty development branch
Merge the clean branch into development
Force push new master and dev branches to this repo
Merge development into master (should already be a MR open.
