This repo isn't software code, so code checks are limited.
Caution
Caution: no human commits in a year.
Why
- No human commits since December 2024. The repository holds mostly documentation, data or model files, so inactivity matters less than for a code library. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4)
- The fork guanguans/design-patterns-for-humans-cn has taken over development, with commits this repository does not have. The repository holds mostly documentation, data or model files, so inactivity matters less than for a code library. (source 1, source 2)
- GitHub found no license file, so the content is not clearly licensed for reuse. (source 1, source 2)
What would change this
- A release or merged commit from a maintainer.
- The upstream repository resumes regular human commits.
- A license file is added.
