Earlier quoted context omitted.

github is not only git... how many times will we have to tell that? PRs, wikis, issues are the reasons why we use github...

If only it were possible to keep those things in git itself. Oh wait, it is.

I've always wondered why github hasn't considered switching to a distributed sub domain layout to help ameliorate this problem. Surely if they spread their infra out that would make ddos that much harder. A subdomain per user or repo should work wonderfully

Yeah my first reaction was it is government based and probably China. I know, we should keep building up their economy by manufacturing nearly everything there, that should stop them.

All these ideas like "let's fetch our deps directly from github" sound good until github is not down.

Yeh it's definitely preferable to have one of the two developers your small startup can probably afford spending a good portion of their time rolling out, securing and maintaining your own infrastructure

I don't think that will solve the problem.
