If github goes down/becomes evil wouldn't it be trivial to just push your repo to another host? I guess there's other things that might tie you into their ecosystem, like wiki/issue tracking/static hosting, but git itself makes it pretty easy to just push elsewhere...
- cgtyoder 13y agoYes… if you're only using it for git version control. If you're using svn or any other features of GH, you will be in deep yogurt.
- JoachimSchipper 13y agoYou can create dumps of remote subversion repositories, which can be used to recreate the repository. (Google suggests that this is called svnrdump; it's been a while since I seriously used svn.) I admit that this isn't widely known, and that many people will actually be in trouble; but if you're prepared, you don't have to be.
- cgtyoder 13y agoThis of course is only as good as your last 'svnrdump'. And that still doesn't really address the underlying issue.
