Any recommended automated mirroring tools to keep a backup of private GitHub repos to avoid the situation where your GitHub account is suspended?

  Isn't your working copy a backup?

    A lot of people also use GH issues to track ideas/code snippets/etc.

    I have deleted local copies from my machine in the past. And when there are other contributors local copy is not guaranteed to be up to date unless you yourself are actively contributing as well.

  I keep interesting and valuable repos in my rsync.net account and I use git to pull them directly: ssh user@rsync.net git clone mirror … blah blah … … which is nice because I don’t use my own bandwidth.

  I use this shell script with a cron job: https://gist.github.com/rodw/3073987 https://gist.github.com/rodw/3073987 It can back up repos, issues and wikis.
