COLLECTED BY
Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.
There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.
ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.
Required status checks ensure that all required CI tests are passing before collaborators can make changes to a protected branch.
If you've enforced branch protections in your repository, you can set up required status checks. For more information, see "Configuring protected branches" and "Enabling required status checks." Required status checks can be checks or statuses. Checks are currently in public beta and are only available for use with GitHub Apps. For more information, see "About status checks."
After enabling required status checks, all required status checks must pass before branches can be merged into the protected branch. Any commits must either be pushed to another branch and then merged or pushed directly to the protected branch, after all required status checks have passed.
If you have a check and a status with the same name and you select that name as a required status check, both the check and the status will be required. For more information, see "Checks" in the GitHub Developer documentation.
Once you've set up required status checks, your branch must be up to date with the base branch before merging. This ensures that your branch has been tested with the latest code from the base branch. If your branch is out of date, you'll need to merge the base branch into your branch.
Note: You can also bring your branch up to date with the base branch by using Git rebase.
You won't be able to push local changes to a protected branch until all required status checks pass. Instead, you'll receive an error message similar to the following:
remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master. remote: error: Required status check "ci-build" is failing
Note: Pull requests that are up to date and pass required status checks can be merged locally and pushed to the protected branch. This can be done without status checks running on the merge commit itself.
Administrators of a repository can merge a protected branch even if required status checks have failed or are pending. You can require administrators to be subject to required status checks.
Administrators can also merge a protected branch even if the branch is out of date with the base branch.
You can set up either loose or strict status checks, depending on whether you want to require your branch to be up to date with the base branch before merging.
