Yes! We took a snapshot of the code and are keeping it at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph-public-snapshot.

I see the point about keeping the old repo name so that links work. That's also mentioned in the blog post. That's a good idea. Let me chat with our team about that.

For your approach with syncing an encrypted form of the private code, why did you need/want to sync it back? Why not just keep a public snapshot as of the switchover date?

Oh that’s great to hear then! Good to know there’s a snapshot already.

In my case, I only encrypt the code related to Pro features. There are still plenty of free features and improvements that I add and that I know people will benefit from having them searchable (for example people learned how to use private frameworks like MonitorPanel to change resolutions and presets, how to control Night Shift from swift etc. )

And so I needed to still sync some public source code from the private repo. You might not need that, it could be as easy as moving every dev in the team to using sourcegraph/sourcegraph-private
