## AI overview

The official Common Expression Language (CEL) repositories have moved from the Google organization to the dedicated cel-expr GitHub organization. The move centralizes the language specification and implementations, while redirects preserve existing links and repository history.

## Source excerpt

by Olena Huang, CEL (Common Expression Language) team We're excited to announce that the official Common Expression Language (CEL) repositories have moved to a dedicated GitHub organization. Visit the new cel-expr repository now! Why the move? This move is a key step in strengthening the CEL ecosystem. By centralizing our projects, including the language specification, Go, C++, C, Java, and Python implementations, under the cel-expr organization, we aim to: Enhance Branding: Create a clear and unified brand identity for CEL. Improve Discoverability: Make it easier for users and contributors to find all official CEL resources in one place. Ensure Consistency: Foster consistency across all CEL projects. Streamline Development: Simplify our development and release processes. What's Changing? The following repositories now reside in the cel-expr organization: google/cel-spec is now cel-expr/cel-spec google/cel-cpp is now cel-expr/cel-cpp google/cel-go is now cel-expr/cel-go google/cel-java is now cel-expr/cel-java cel-expr/cel-python and cel-expr/cel-c have already been in the cel-expr namespace All future development, issues, and pull requests for these projects will take place in their new homes within the cel-expr organization. This is a non-breaking change, due to automatic redirects, but you should update your URLs where possible. What Stays the Same? We've worked to make this transition as seamless as possible: Automatic Redirects: GitHub will automatically redirect all web traffic and git operations from the old google/cel-* URLs to the new cel-expr/cel-* locations. Your existing links and git remote configurations pointing to the old URLs should continue to work for cloning and fetching. Preserved History: The full commit history, issues, and pull requests for each repository have been migrated and are available in the new locations. Action Required: Update Your Dependencies While existing links and git remote configurations pointing to the old URLs should conti
