Plan: Transfer devcontainer-toolbox to helpers-no

IMPLEMENTATION RULES: Before implementing this plan, read and follow:

Status: Completed​

Goal: Transfer this repo from terchris/devcontainer-toolbox to helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox with zero downtime.

Priority: High — must be done first, other repos depend on the container image.

Last Updated: 2026-03-18

Overall plan: See /Users/terje.christensen/learn/projects-2026/testing/github-helpers-no/INVESTIGATE-move-repos-to-helpers-no.md

Report back: After completing each phase, update the overall plan's checklist in the file above. Mark the devcontainer-toolbox line as complete when all phases are done.

Prerequisites​

  • None — this repo transfers first

Blocks: All other repo transfers depend on this completing (container image at ghcr.io/helpers-no/)

Problem​

The repo lives under terchris/devcontainer-toolbox but needs to be under the helpers-no org. There are 119 references to terchris across 44 files, including critical runtime references in install scripts and the container image path.

Phase 1: Create branch and fix references — ✅ DONE​

Tasks​

  • 1.1 Create branch move-to-helpers-no
  • 1.2 Replace terchris/devcontainer-toolbox → helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox in critical scripts:
    • install.sh
    • install.ps1
    • .devcontainer/manage/dev-sync.sh
    • .devcontainer/manage/dev-update.sh
    • .devcontainer/manage/dev-template.sh
    • .devcontainer/manage/lib/version-utils.sh
    • .devcontainer/additions/cmd-publish-github.sh (kept # Author: terchris — person name)
    • .devcontainer/additions/install-dev-ai-claudecode.sh
  • 1.3 Replace ghcr.io/terchris/devcontainer-toolbox → ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox in:
    • devcontainer-user-template.json
    • GH Actions workflow files (no terchris refs found — already use variables)
  • 1.4 Replace terchris → helpers-no in docs/website files (~35 files)
    • README.md
    • website/docusaurus.config.ts
    • website/blog/authors.yml (kept author name terchris, updated repo URL)
    • Website docs and blog posts
    • Kept completed plans as-is (historical)
    • Kept authors: [terchris] in blog posts (person name)
  • 1.5 Update .gitignore (terchris/ → personal/)
  • 1.6 Commit all changes to branch (do NOT merge)

Validation​

User confirms all references are updated. Run: grep -r "terchris" --include="*.sh" --include="*.ps1" --include="*.json" --include="*.ts" . should return zero critical hits.

Phase 2: Transfer repo and publish container image — ✅ DONE​

Tasks​

  • 2.1 Transfer repo on GitHub via gh api transfer endpoint
  • 2.2 Verify repo is at https://github.com/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox
  • 2.3 GH Actions workflow built image successfully
  • 2.4 Merged move-to-helpers-no branch via PR #69
  • 2.5 Container image built and published to ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox:latest
  • 2.6 docker pull ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox:latest — success

Validation​

Container image pulls successfully from ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox:latest.

Phase 3: Re-enable GitHub Pages — ✅ DONE​

Tasks​

  • 3.1 GitHub Pages was preserved during transfer (no re-enable needed)
  • 3.2 Custom domain dct.sovereignsky.no preserved (plan originally said uis.sovereignsky.no but actual domain is dct.sovereignsky.no)
  • 3.3 Site is live at https://dct.sovereignsky.no/ (verified with curl, HTTP 200)
  • Note: Deploy Documentation workflow has a pre-existing MDX build error (not related to transfer)

Validation​

Website loads correctly at https://dct.sovereignsky.no/.

Phase 4: Update local clones — ✅ DONE​

Tasks​

  • 4.1 Updated local git remote: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox.git
  • 4.2 Notify users (fewer than 10) to update their remotes and rebuild devcontainers

Validation​

git remote -v shows helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox.

Acceptance Criteria​

  • Repo is at https://github.com/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox
  • ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox:latest image is published and pullable
  • install.sh and install.ps1 work from the new location (needs testing after DNS propagation)
  • Website is live at dct.sovereignsky.no
  • No remaining terchris references in critical scripts
  • Old URL redirects work (GitHub handles automatically)

  • install.sh
  • install.ps1
  • devcontainer-user-template.json
  • .devcontainer/manage/dev-sync.sh
