"This is the only reason I decided to use Github after avoiding Sourceforge and their ilk for the past decade and a half."

But why github? Why not gitorious.org?

If github goes away, I still have my code, but I lose any issues people have filed on the site, and I lose being able to easily check on forks of my projects where people might be doing interesting stuff.

I had been using gitorius.org, but moved to github for all the things other than git that makes one public git host different from another.



There is the Github API, so you could backup the non-repository data as well by writing a couple of scripts, if you were so inclined.


Right, and I should probably set up something to auto-snag that stuff where it counts, but having to do that is the sort of thing you have to so for any non-git-based site.

It'd be nice of all those related items were also in a repo, easy to pull.
