Issue and PR threads are invaluable documentation for a project, it's difficult to migrate to another code host when years of knowledge are locked into your old hosting service. So I built a couple of scripts to archive issues, pull requests, comments, and source code from github repositories, and to turn them into static sites! With the accelerating exodus away from github, I've heard from a lot of people that there aren't any good tools for archiving that knowledge in a human-readable format, so I thought this would be a useful tool to make. The initial release is ready, and just in time for github to start charging for self-hosted runners!

If you try it out, let me know what you think. There's definitely areas that can be improved on :)

You're right! In hindsight I probably should have change the title when I cross-posted here 😅
