Post-transfer cosmetic + release-critical URL refresh after moving the
repo from github.com/shankar0123/certctl to github.com/certctl-io/certctl
(2026-05-03). GitHub HTTP redirects continue to forward old URLs forever,
so existing operators are not broken — but aligns the canonical
references with the new owner so:
- procurement engineers / contributors browsing the docs see the right
URL on first read
- operators copying the agent install one-liner hit the new path
directly without going through a redirect
- the Helm chart's default image repository points at the canonical org
registry path
- the OnboardingWizard rendered to first-run UI users shows the new
URL in the install snippets and doc anchor links
- the GitHub Actions release workflow pushes container images to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent} (was: shankar0123)
- the release-notes Markdown body in release.yml — which gets stamped
into every future release page — references the post-transfer
cert-identity (cosign keyless signing now uses the certctl-io
workflow URL) and the post-transfer SLSA provenance source-uri.
Without this, every cosign verify / slsa-verifier command on a
v2.1.0+ release would fail because the cert-identity-regexp would
not match the signing identity GitHub Actions OIDC issues post-
transfer. Old releases (v2.0.67 and earlier) keep their immutable
release-notes pointing at the shankar0123 path and remain
verifiable via their own published instructions.
Customer impact:
- Operators on ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:latest
silently freeze on whatever tag was current at transfer time. They
get no errors; they just stop receiving updates. The next release
notes need a one-line callout (Phase 3.1 of cowork/transfer-
certctl-to-org.md) telling them to update their image path to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent}.
- All other URLs (git clone, install one-liner, raw.githubusercontent
URLs, browser links, GitHub API) continue to resolve via permanent
HTTP redirects. The sweep is cosmetic for those.
Files swept (30 total):
.github/workflows/release.yml — IMAGE_NAMESPACE, source-uri,
cosign cert-identity-regexp, IMAGE= snippet (5 refs total).
CHANGELOG.md, README.md — anchor links, badges, install one-liner,
cosign verify snippets in operator-facing sections.
api/openapi.yaml — info / externalDocs URLs.
install-agent.sh — GITHUB_REPO const + systemd unit Documentation=
field.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md, deploy/helm/{CHART_SUMMARY,INDEX,
INSTALLATION,README}.md, deploy/helm/certctl/{Chart.yaml,
README.md,values.yaml}, deploy/helm/examples/values-*.yaml —
chart docs + image repository defaults across dev / prod-ha
overrides.
docs/{certctl-for-cert-manager-users,connector-iis,connectors,
migrate-from-acmesh,migrate-from-certbot,quickstart,test-env,
why-certctl}.md — operator-facing doc URLs.
examples/{acme-nginx,acme-wildcard-dns01,multi-issuer,
private-ca-traefik,step-ca-haproxy}/docker-compose.yml +
examples/step-ca-haproxy/step-ca-haproxy.md — example image:
paths and accompanying narrative.
web/src/pages/OnboardingWizard.tsx — first-run-UI URL refs (curl
install one-liners, agent docker image path, doc anchor links).
Files intentionally NOT swept (Choice A from cowork/transfer-certctl-
to-org.md):
go.mod, go.sum — module declaration stays github.com/shankar0123/
certctl. Existing imports compile because Go uses the path
declared in go.mod, not the URL it was fetched from. Internal-
only project; no external Go consumers; rename will land as a
mechanical sed when one materializes.
~250 *.go files — every import remains github.com/shankar0123/
certctl/internal/...
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/go.mod — separate test sub-module;
same Choice A logic; module path stays.
Files intentionally NOT swept (other reasons):
README.md lines 244-245 — Scarf-pixel docker-pull commands.
shankar0123.docker.scarf.sh/... is a Scarf-account hostname
(per-user, not per-repo) and the pixel keeps tracking pulls
against the operator's personal Scarf account. Migrating to a
certctl-io Scarf account is a separate decision (create org
Scarf account → re-create package → update README).
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol — checked-in
compiled binary with shankar0123/certctl baked into Go build
info via the sub-module path. Out of scope for a URL sweep;
will refresh on the next `make test-integration` rebuild.
Verification:
gofmt: clean (no .go files touched).
go vet ./...: clean (verified at this SHA in 1.3 of the transfer
checklist; no .go changes since).
go build ./...: clean (same).
go test -short on representative packages: green (same).
Diff shape: 30 files, 74 insertions / 74 deletions, net-zero size,

Changelog
certctl no longer maintains a hand-edited per-version changelog. Per-release notes are auto-generated from commit messages between consecutive tags.
Where to find what changed in a given release:
- GitHub Releases — every tag has an auto-generated "What's Changed" section pulled from the commits between that tag and the previous one, plus per-release supply-chain verification instructions (Cosign / SLSA / SBOM).
git log <prev-tag>..<this-tag> --oneline— same content, locally.
Why no hand-edited CHANGELOG.md:
certctl is solo-developed and pushes directly to master. Maintaining a
hand-edited CHANGELOG meant the file drifted (entries piled into
[unreleased] and never got promoted to per-version sections when tags were
cut). A stale CHANGELOG is worse than no CHANGELOG — it signals abandoned
maintenance to security-conscious operators doing diligence.
The auto-generated release notes work here because commit messages follow a
descriptive convention: <area>: <summary> with a longer body for non-trivial
changes (see git log v2.0.50..HEAD for the established pattern). Anyone
reading the GitHub Releases page can see exactly what landed in each version
without depending on the author to manually update a separate file.
For the historical record: earlier versions (pre-v2.2.0 and the [2.2.0] tag itself) had a hand-edited CHANGELOG. That content is preserved in git history at the v2.2.0 tag.
