Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

Nice clickbait.

Most emulators, especially for recent Nintendo systems

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have a list of Github URLs, leading to some of the most important emulators, in your view?

Although, it'd be important to backup issues too and this'd unfortunately require a Github token.
