Been kind of thinking about taking all of my open source code and throwing it into some kind of loosely maintained monorepo. Sort of a "here's some stuff I wrote" kind of thing.
@dabeaz isn't it the case for 99.9% of open source code..?
@dabeaz for what purpose are you doing this?
Depending on your needs, you might be able to set up a git repo and just pull in everything from distinct sources/projects. You would essentially have multiple git commit trees, but I don't think that's, strictly speaking, a problem for git. Then expose in several branches.
.. I haven't tried this myself. But it would maintain your original code histories, while also being consolidated in a single repo.

@dabeaz I do something similar, https://github.com/alexpdp7/alexpdp7/ ... I just don't have enough interesting stuff...
@tymwol Sure, but a lot of people are also inclined to turn their code into a package. I'm done with packaging. So, this wouldn't be that.
@dabeaz no, no, don't recommend, when you make a package people start assuming that you would also maintain it and provide free helpdesk services...

@tymwol Right. I've previously had a fair bit of code that was released as a "package." I'm done with that (and have been for some time). Thus, my thought is to take everything I've made and just throw it into some kind of loosely maintained repo of personal work.
"Loosely maintained" means I might fix bugs if I feel like it. Or not.
