+## Migrating local repos
+Recently we moved our Gitea instance to use [docker-swarm](https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/git.autonomic.zone/commit/36eed2a709cd72183e54ab79be74e044f5614ea8). This requires changing the origin on your repos hosted here. You may need to use a combination of the following commands.
+
+```
+git pull
+git remote rm origin && git remote add origin ssh://git@git.autonomic.zone:2222/autonomic-cooperative/git.autonomic.zone.git
+git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
+git pull
+```
+
+You may also need to run a command similar to this to remove the previous server fingerprint from your `known_hosts` file or do it manually:
+`ssh-keygen -f "/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "[git.autonomic.zone]:222"`
