Move lib into an org

[vfn]

@tonyarnold I just noticed that the Diff pod is now Differ and that has been "moved" to your account.

To avoid issues like that if you ever stop supporting it and needs to move it to someone else, I'd like to suggest the repo to be moved into an organization and that would allow an easier transition of maintainers.

If possible, it would be awesome to get @wokalski to do that on his side, with the original Diff repo.

I'm happy to help with that.

If you send me exact steps of what I should do, I'll do it.

Hi @wokalski, that’s awesome. Let’s do it!

First create an org. No payment method required as there is no need for that. All the projects will be open source.

You can call the org Diff for example.

Then you transfer the repo to the org.

And then you can invite member to the org.

For the Diff pod, you’ll need to go to the terminal and get into the folder of your local Diff repo, and you’ll add member to that pod.

You can get Tony’s email on his profile page.

Feel free to add me to both, the org and the pod as I’m a user of both and I could keep an eye on updates and issues

Can't I simply remove the pod I registered or transfer it? I'd like for the repo to remain where it is but I can totally give the pod to someone else. Is there something like pod aliases?

[vfn]

@wokalski if you transfer the repo, Github will handle the redirection, for both web visits and also git interactions, if that's what you're worried about, and by being the org owner, you'll always have access to it. But that's up to you.

Regarding the pod, if you add an owner like I posted above, that owner can handle the pod/podspec changes, including pointing the pod to a new repo if needed.

[wokalski]

Done, I added Tony as an owner.

Cool! @tonyarnold let me know if you need help with anything
