If you are the owner of a GitHub organization, please review the list of GitHub Apps that are installed on your organization, and remove any Apps that are no longer needed.
You can access the list of GitHub Apps by going to the following URL: https://github.com/organizations/$ORGANIZATION_NAME/settings/installations
For example, the list of GitHub Apps installed on the JuliaLang organization is accessible at the https://github.com/organizations/JuliaLang/settings/installations URL.
For example, if you spot any of the following GitHub Apps on your organization, I would recommend that you uninstall them:
| Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Julia FemtoCleaner | FemtoCleaner is deprecated. |
| Julia TagBot | The TagBot GitHub App is no longer supported. Please transition to the TagBot GitHub Action. |
| AppVeyor CI | We recommend transitioning to GitHub Actions CI. |
| Travis CI | No longer offers CI for open-source repos. We recommend transitioning to GitHub Actions CI. |
