Plan: Transfer urbalurba-dev-templates to helpers-no (rename to dev-templates)

Status: Done​

Goal: Transfer this repo from terchris/urbalurba-dev-templates to helpers-no/dev-templates with zero downtime.

Priority: Medium

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 urbalurba-dev-templates line as complete when all phases are done.

Prerequisites​

  • PLAN-transfer-to-helpers-no in devcontainer-toolbox must be complete (container image at ghcr.io/helpers-no/)

Problem​

The repo lives under terchris/urbalurba-dev-templates. There are 18 references to terchris across 15 files. The repo will also be renamed from urbalurba-dev-templates to dev-templates.

Phase 1: Create branch and fix references​

Tasks​

  • 1.1 Create branch move-to-helpers-no
  • 1.2 Replace ghcr.io/terchris/devcontainer-toolbox → ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox in:
    • .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
  • 1.3 Replace terchris/urbalurba-dev-templates → helpers-no/dev-templates in:
    • README.md
  • 1.4 Rename terchris/ directory and update scripts within — N/A: terchris/ is a private local folder, not committed
    • terchris/dev-template.sh
    • terchris/devcontainer/dev/dev-template.sh
  • 1.5 Update terchris references in template content files:
    • templates/typescript-basic-webserver/README-typescript-basic-webserver.md
    • templates/csharp-basic-webserver/README-csharp-basic-webserver.md
    • templates/python-basic-webserver/README-python-basic-webserver.md
    • templates/designsystemet-basic-react-app/ — various source files
  • 1.6 Commit all changes to branch (do NOT merge)

Validation​

User confirms all references are updated. grep -r "terchris" . should return zero hits.

Phase 2: Transfer and rename repo​

Tasks​

  • 2.1 Transfer repo on GitHub: Settings → Transfer → helpers-no
  • 2.2 Rename repo from urbalurba-dev-templates to dev-templates in GitHub settings
  • 2.3 Verify GitHub redirect works for both old name and old owner
  • 2.4 Merge move-to-helpers-no branch

Validation​

Repo is at https://github.com/helpers-no/dev-templates.

Phase 3: Update local clone​

Tasks​

  • 3.1 Update local git remote: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/helpers-no/dev-templates.git

Validation​

git remote -v shows helpers-no/dev-templates.

Acceptance Criteria​

  • Repo is at https://github.com/helpers-no/dev-templates
  • Container image ref points to ghcr.io/helpers-no/devcontainer-toolbox:latest
  • No remaining terchris references (except private local folder)
  • terchris/ directory renamed appropriately — N/A: private local folder
  • Old URL redirects work (to be verified)

Files to Modify​

  • .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
  • README.md
  • terchris/dev-template.sh (rename directory + update content)
  • terchris/devcontainer/dev/dev-template.sh (rename directory + update content)
  • Template README files (3)
  • designsystemet-basic-react-app source files (~6)
