If you develop on your own private instance and then mirror to GitHub to release it then there will be 3 months of git history in the logs.

If it's a project you actually care about and are actively working on it'll be just as good 3 months from now.

If it's something that'll be irrelevant in 3 months why should anyone care about it?

That is true in most cases I guess but just look at the current product in OP. In 3 months, at the pace AI products evolve, we might "all" be using the next AI coding harness and Claude Code could be a thing of the past. So it's not a long lasting tool like curl for example.

All I'm trying to say that generalizing like suggested might exclude some useful things.
