100 times this. I’ve worked at a company with a commit history going back to 1979 (literal paper logs at that point, plus in-file headers), and another company where we lost ~2 years worth of historical context/info to WIP commits because “our internal GitHub instance has that info” turned out to not be true when we migrated to a new instance. Nowadays, the relevant info from our PRs gets copied to git, and I hope in 40 years if someone has a question they can still see that history if needed.
