https://github.com/crosswire is mostly dead. There
is more life (especially for modules) at
https://gitlab.com/crosswire-bible-society and then there is
another GitLab at https://git.crosswire.org/ (for contributors
only).

See on gitlab.

I don’t even comment on this one any more (just mirror it to
https://git.cepl.eu/cgit/sword/), because where there is no
advice, there is no help.

Best,
