+=== What happened to my user repository? === #userrepositories
+
+Each directory `users/USER` in the Mac OS Forge repository has been migrated to a separate GitHub repository called `macports-user-USER`. If one of these repositories is yours, we encourage you to take custody of it.
+1. Find your repository in [https://github.com/macports our GitHub organization]. If you can't locate yours, try entering your MacPorts handle into the search box immediately above the repository list.
+1. [https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo Fork it] to your personal GitHub account.
+1. Inform macports-infra at lists.macports.org that you have forked your repository. An organization owner will soon delete the original, [https://help.github.com/articles/what-happens-to-forks-when-a-repository-is-deleted-or-changes-visibility/#deleting-a-public-repository leaving your fork as the canonical repository].
+
+If you don't consider your repository worth saving, you can skip the forking and simply request deletion.
