State of maintenance?

[petems]

It seems that this project is no longer maintained (looking at the comments in https://github.com/arc90/git-sweep/pull/43/files)

Would it be possible to tranfer the project to another group or org that can maintain, or simply give the commit bit to some additonal people?

I would gladly volunteer, git-sweep is awesome and I've been using it for several years 👍

Seconding this. I'd be happy to step up and contribute. Not sure what org it can be moved over to. I also love git-sweep and want to see it live on.

@Sapphire64 @closacco @robmadole guys find someone to maintain this. I would be happy to take this over. Do something about it and don't let this project pitifully rot.

Sounds like a fork and rename might be in order.

Does anyone know a fork or a similar tool that it's maintained?

[petems]

I ended up doing a kinda remaking the core functionality in a go re-write: https://github.com/petems/gitsweeper

It's been a while since I've worked on it because it achieved what I wanted, but if others find it useful I'm happy to add additional fucntionality and merge PRs etc

I've developed a similar tool that could be helpful. Feel free to try it out - lifesign/git-broom
