Git can do that as well with a --bare repo on any $5 virtual server. The whole setup only takes a few minutes, and Github's doing that in the backend anyway. :)

- mbrock 11y agoSure, but those servers will have much worse availability than GitHub, on average...
- hellcow 11y agoThen up it to $10 and host identical copies across EC2 and Linode or Digital Ocean. Set up a git hook to automatically push from your primary to your secondary server, keeping both up to date. You now have better uptime than Github (100%, more or less) for less money than Github charges and greater control.
- mbrock 11y agoYeah, but GitHub does this for, like, a hundred thousand projects. That's a lot of repeated effort if every project is going to do this themselves. For private repositories, sure, but I'm thinking of GitHub as an infrastructure provider.
