Your repositories, finally in order.
We take inventory of every Git repository your team owns — naming the good ones, archiving the dead ones, backing up the ones that matter — so nobody has to ask which repo is the real one.
Three problems, one list
Repository inventory
Every repo, owner, last commit and deployment target in one sheet. You find out immediately how many of your repositories have been dead for a year — usually between a third and a half.
Naming and cleanup
A naming standard your team can actually remember, applied to the repos worth keeping, with the redirects and pipeline updates handled so nothing breaks.
Archive and backup
Finished repos archived with a note pointing to their replacement. Live repos mirrored on a schedule, with a restore drill that proves the copy works.
Two weeks, no drama
- Map. We read your organisation's repository list and classify every repo: active, archived, duplicate, or unknown. You get the sheet, whatever happens next.
- Decide. Together we agree names and retirement rules. Nothing is renamed or archived without your sign-off on the list.
- Execute and hand over. We run the renames and the archiving pass, set up the backup schedule, and leave you a one-page runbook for the next hire.
Do it yourself, properly

Git Repository Naming Conventions: A Practical Guide for Teams
Every team ends up with api-v2, api_final, and API-NEW. A naming convention is how you stop that from happening again — here is one you can adopt in an afternoon.

Archiving is the right answer for most dead repositories — but it is not deletion, and it is not a backup. Here is exactly what changes, step by step.

A zip of the default branch is not a backup of your repository. Here are the three ways to save a repo locally, what each one keeps, and how to prove the copy works.
