What makes you think GitLab won't have any downtimes?

GitLab is down for 2minutes per month. GitHub is down second time today for more than 20minutes... can you hear the software and builds breaking? ouch

GitLab is nowhere near the size and popularity of GitHub.

Has anyone got a good Github backup script that's actually robust? Something that will reliably go through all your company private repos and clone the lot. I've found a few, but they're all clunky and in serious need of adaptation. (e.g. https://gist.github.com/rodw/3073987 which is the best I've found so far.) Hard part appears to be finding one that does an organisation account well, not just a user. What are othe…

You could try github-backup [0]. Quoting from the description: It backs up everything GitHub publishes about the repository, including branches, tags, other forks, issues, comments, wikis, milestones, pull requests, watchers, and stars. And did I mention that it's written in Haskell! [0] https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup

Sounds good :-) Are you actually using it? What's your experience using it to try to back up an organisation account?

edit: "github-backup does not log into GitHub, so it cannot backup private repositories." So, looks like that won't do it for us, sorry :-(

Why not using google for authentication? Seems like github is down relatively often.

Google oauth goes down as well, one of the last ones was even discussed here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11526775

That was more than 3 months ago. Github goes down more often than that.
