Organizations

GitHub

• URL: https://github.com/cubing
• Org settings URL: https://github.com/organizations/cubing/settings/profile
• 2FA enforcement for members:
  • Require two-factor authentication
    • Only allow secure two-factor methods
• Owners: @lgarron, @jfly

Certain repos have elevated privileges for maintainers. (TODO: document these.)

"Require two-factor authentication" and "Only allow secure two-factor methods" are enabled. This still leaves a lot of authentication options, and prevents a large class of potential risks. (Note that @lgarron worked on authentication at GitHub, and is very familiar with the security model, implementation, and tradeoffs.)

npm

• URL: https://www.npmjs.com/org/cubing
• Org settings URL: https://www.npmjs.com/settings/cubing/packages
• 2FA enforcement for members: No (TODO)
• Owner: @lgarron
• Admin: @jfly

healthchecks.io

• URL: (redacted)
• Owner: @lgarron
• Manager: @jfly

Codeberg

• URL: https://codeberg.org/cubing
• Org settings URL: text
• Owners: @lgarron, @jfly

Codeberg is an non-profit alternative to GitHub with a principled mission that pushes back against what many see as hostile practices by GitHub. Projects may migrate there over time to avoid reliance on GitHub.

Conventions

• We generally publish code under one of the following licenses:
  • Dedicate to the public domain using the Unlicense.
  • MPL: for projects we want to encourage open collaboration for.
  • MIT: for projects with permissive usage.
  • GPL: Do not use for new projects. Use the MPL instead.
• Makefile conventions: https://github.com/lgarron/Makefile-convention, particularly: make dev and make build
• Files with a .json extension must contain valid JSON.
  • If using JSON5 or JSONC:
    • Prefer JSON5 (which has a spec) over JSONC (an ad-hoc format that Microsoft refuses to standardize and which even Microsoft's tools parse and validate inconsistently).
    • Always use .json5 or .jsonc file extensions. (Example: biome.jsonc)
      • If a tool requires a use of a .json file extension (e.g. TypeScript) and the file contents are not valid JSON, move the file to an adjacent .jsonc or .json5 and symlink or reference the .json file path. (Example: tsconfig.json → tsconfig.jsonc)
• Add a CI.yaml GitHub Actions workflow with the following jobs when relevant. Do not use secrets for any workflows in this file.
  • build
  • test
• JS projects:
  • Language: TypeScript
  • Bundler: esbuild
  • Formatter: biome
• Rust:
  • When a nightly toolchain is needed (e.g. for the portable_simd feature), use nightly-2026-02-01 for now. (Examples)

Many of these conventions are available in: https://github.com/lgarron/ts-project-template
