Always. It's a third-party place that can sink at any time (if you don't believe this, why would GitHub be any different to what happened to SourceForge or Google Code?). Your code should be hosted under your very own domain first (so called "canonical repository", or how I call it, the "source of truth"), and GitHub or BitBucket should be a replica. Thanks to git's distributed nature, this replica can be two-way, but still a replica.

Google Code shut down, and everything of interest moved. There was no problem.

  Despite the altruistic acts of certain people, not every project was migrated. Those that weren't migrated are now lost and a part of our digital heritage died. I consider that a problem.
