 * motivation
 i found myself frequently going through multiple git forges, some of
 which don't have search/grep functionality, trying to find how others
 solved certain problems that i was encountering. this is an attempt to
 aggregate useful guix dotfiles and other guix related projects, so i
 can easily find examples.
 
-* ~repositories.txt~
-this is the list of repositories you might want to change, it is a
-file with three whitespace seperated column, in the format
-#+BEGIN_SRC
-# owner/name		 url						branch
-aemogie/aetheria	 https://codeberg.org/aemogie/aetheria.git 	dev
-#+END_SRC
-
-the first column "owner/name" is used as the subdirectory to clone the
-repository into, the second as the url to the git repository, and the
-final as the branch to be cloned. empty lines and lines starting with
-~#~ are ignored, thus comments have to be on a seperate line.
-
 * cloning
 as this repository might be large, for cloning for the purpose of
 making edits, i recommend these command which clones everything
