Because tragically, most people have all their eggs in one github shaped basket.
Git on it's own doesn't suffer from the issue of scary downtime (occasionally repo corruption...), but people have bought deeply into the value-added ecosystem that github throws over the top of it.
It's a show-stopper for them.
- sspiff 13y agoI have some of my code on GitHub and some on Bitbucket (for the free private repos), all of my code on my Dropbox and it's synced to 4 different machines. However, the library I'm working with is hosted on GitHub, their doxygen is on GitHub, their wiki is on GitHub, and I don't have a local version of either of those, which is now pretty annoying.
- harrytuttle 13y agoVery true. This is a major irritation. I rather like Golang because of stuff like this as you can run your own local documentation server and stuff. It's just a neat self-contained package.
