It is quite common for larger open-source organisations to self-host their repositories and issue trackers. After all, they would quite literally stop existing if Github were to do an oopsie. Voluntarily putting the keys of your entire existence in the hands of a third party isn't exactly an attractive option.
- talles 1y ago"Literally stop existing"? Having broken links and notifying everyone when a migration happens is for sure a hassle, but migrating a git repo is the easiest thing in the world. That's kinda the whole point of a distributed VCS.
- rogerrogerr 1y agoMigrating the repo is easy, migrating issues and MRs and whatever other ancillary features you’re using is not.
- necovek 1y agoI invite you to migrate all your GH workflows to GitLab pipelines as the "easiest thing in the world" as an exercise for the reader.
- bapak 1y agoPretty sure GitHub will go out of their way to avoid mishandling such important projects (i.e. they'll reach into their backups if things go awry)
