Hi everyone,

To enhance branding, improve discoverability, and ensure consistency across the Common Expression Language (CEL) ecosystem, we are centralizing all official CEL repositories under the new dedicated GitHub organization: github.com/cel-expr. The change will happen on June 16, 2026.

Why are we doing this?

This move consolidates all CEL projects (like Go, C++, Java, Python, and the language spec) into a single, professional GitHub organization. This will make it easier for users and contributors to find all CEL resources, streamline our development, and strengthen the CEL brand.

What does this mean for cel-cpp?

1. New Home: This repository (google/cel-cpp) will be moved to github.com/cel-expr/cel-cpp

2. Future Development: All new issues, pull requests, code changes, and releases for cel-cpp will occur in the new cel-expr/cel-cpp repository.

What stays the same?

• Redirects: GitHub automatically redirects all web and git traffic from the old github.com/google/cel-cpp URL to the new cel-expr/cel-cpp location. Your existing links and git remote configurations pointing to the old URL should continue to work for cloning and fetching.
• History: The full commit history, issues, and pull requests have been preserved and are available in the new location.

Action Required:

Update Dependency URLs: While git operations on the old URL will redirect, it's best practice to update your dependency management configurations to point directly to the new location. This ensures you are fetching the latest code and releases reliably.

This move helps us create a single, clear home for all things CEL. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
