Summary

The docs told contributors to keep an upstream remote pointing at nuxsmin/sysPass. It earns nothing here: main starts from a squashed sysPass 3.2.11 root, so it shares no common ancestor with any upstream branch — no merge, rebase or main..upstream/master range works against it. Upstream has also been dormant since 2024-12-21.

origin (this repository) is now the only remote, which is what a plain clone gives you.

Changes

  • CLAUDE.md: the Remotes note becomes a single-remote note, saying why there is no upstream
  • docs/github.md: same for its contribution-workflow paragraph

Prose about upstream the project — the flat-history note, the "never run by upstream CI" note — is untouched; only the remote is gone.

Note

Nothing is lost that a git remote add cannot restore: nuxsmin/sysPass is dormant, not deleted, so its old branch refs are one fetch away should the provenance ever be needed.
