Have you ever looked into using an s3 backed git repo via jgit? Not sure how many files/revisions you have but it may be a cost effective alternative that you can start using today.
We use it for auto deploys from autoscaled instances cuz github has poor uptime.

You can get a self contained cli (jgit.sh) from here: https://eclipse.org/jgit/download/ https://eclipse.org/jgit/download/ . It does not have an eclipse dependency. you can then just add an s3 remote and push to this remote as part of your CI flow. Here is a decent article that describes the end-to-end: http://www.fancybeans.com/blog/2012/08/24/how-to-use-s3-as-a-private-git-repository/ http://www.fancybeans.com/blog/2012/08/24/how-to-use-s3-as-a...
