Turns out it was pretty easy to set up a redirect to anything at all since sopel.chat runs on Netlify. More importantly, it will still be easy even if the site switches to (almost) any other static-site host or goes back to running on someone's Apache/Nginx/Caddy/whatever box.

God damn it, GitHub. I did this as a hedge but never expected the shutdown would happen this month. https://github.blog/changelog/2022-04-25-git-io-deprecation/ Guess 7.1.9 is going out on Friday. |

GH updated yesterday to say they now plan to create a read-only archive service. You know, the thing they should have done in the first place—and what they effectively already have, from an outsider's perspective. Clearly there's something about the current infrastructure they don't like. We're still going to move this link off of git.io, of course, but the urgency is now slightly reduced. |
Thought about the redirects a bit more, and really didn't like any of my ideas for a keyword. Side-stepped the whole thing by setting up wildcard redirection of issue & PR numbers.

Verified the new shortcut is working on the live site after deploying sopel-irc/sopel.chat#37 earlier today. Let's go! |

Description
Prerequisite: sopel-irc/sopel.chat#37
Tin. I don't mind one bit bundling this with the next bugfix release. We're just changing the link so it's guaranteed to keep working even if GitHub kills off git.io entirely without warning (kind of like they announced it would stop accepting new links without warning, so I don't think this is paranoid).
