Hello @shenmo7192

I'm making an archive of all Linux distros

There is any issues in making forks and preserving the previous git history because for example here:

GXDE-OS/dde-control-center@ec47d2e
GXDE-OS/dde-file-manager@9145a2c
GXDE-OS/dde-kwin@b82fc82

all previous history have not been preserved

Here GXDE-OS/GXDE@4f2e5d2 have been added the debian changelog of debiandde which date back to 2015, would be nice having all that 9 years of development too

Thank you for checking our repositories !

GXDE OS featuring GXDE, which is a fork of Deepin Desktop Environment 15.

You see some very old files, they are from old LinuxDeepin. GXDE Project is not that old~


Yes, some histories are destroyed. We know that destroying commit history is confusing, but that's because we are using an Chinese git platform as major platform( For internet issue in China) : Gitee, which have limited repo size for free users. . To decrease repo size, we have to remove some history and only leave the changes made by GXDE Project.

These original repo's history can often found at LinuxDeepin/LinuxDeepin Old repos. For example:

https://github.com/GXDE-OS/deepin-desktop-base

https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-desktop-base


Lastly, we would like to express our gratitude for your attention to our repository and development progress. Your support has brought us warmth and kindness. We also hope that more friends will join in the development.

Wishing Distroware all the best for continued success.
