It's probably not the right place to ask this question but when I mouse hover my Arctic Code Vault Contributor icon on my Github profile page, I saw something like this:
... contributed code to several repositories in the 2020 GitHub Archive Program: x, y, z and more!
How do I know what exactly are those repositories archived except the x, y and z shown here? What's the criteria for archiving the repositories?
Now archive repositories on GitHub to make them read-only. Archiving a repository makes it read-only to everyone (including repository owners). This includes editing the repository, issues, pull requests, labels, milestones, projects, wiki, releases, commits, tags, branches, reactions and comments.
The GitHub Arctic Code Vault is a data repository preserved in the Arctic World Archive (AWA), a very-long-term archival facility 250 meters deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain. The archive is located in a decommissioned coal mine in the Svalbard archipelago, closer to the North Pole than the Arctic Circle.
Preserve open source software for future generations.The GitHub Archive Program is a testament to the importance of the open source community.
Clicking on the Arctic Code Vault Contributor badge in the highlights section of a profile will reveal which of a user's projects were saved in this snapshot. GitHub created the Arctic Code Vault Badge to honor the millions of developers worldwide who contributed to the open-source project.
The Arctic Code Vault includes repositories with :
Any commits between the announcement at Universe on November 13, 2019, and February 2, 2020
At least one star and any commits from the year before the snapshot between February 3, 2019, and February 2, 2020
At least 250 stars, regardless of when their most recent activity occurred
