Gitlab is a fully featured and ready full replacement for Github. Additionally, the Gitlab team is far more competent and listens better to user feedback.
I have never used GitLab, but I keep hearing lots of positive things. Is there anything they don't do as well or better than Github?
I hope this is a temporary blip on the radar for Github, and that they return to profitability very quickly. Github should be a pillar platform in our community for the next decade, and the only way for them to become that is via profitability.
If anything we should be cheering for gitlab. Atleast we can modify it locally.
The thought of losing Github to the startup graveyard is kind of scary. It was bad enough to lose Google Code and when SourceForge had their "great purge" of inactive projects.
On the other hand, as Git is a DVCS even if GitHub went down the repos still live on local developer machines, so it'd be easy enough to move to a different Git hosting provider.

That said, we don't use issues, the wiki, etc.

I always freak about some other country attacking github. The world would crumble/ it's probably some sort of weird national security scenario.
An attack on StackOverflow would be as bad or worse. These sites should probably be protected as areas of national strategic importance, like how the US protected the NYC docks during WWII.

Only half-kidding. So many big and small projects are using GitHub as their primary repository and sometimes their only homepage. And there's all those benefits of it being something of a social network as well, and an issue tracker and so on.
I'm sure something else would take its place, but it would take a while before it gets as much momentum.

Many people have warned that using these added-value features makes you dependent on GitHub (Linus Torvalds has a kernel mirror on GitHub, but for this reason refuses to use its other features). Migrating all that metadata is hard (is it even possible?).
