The joke is that git is decentralized–it's just GitHub that's a single point of failure.
We have Gitlab Enterprise and it has trouble scaling.

> bored developers Bored? Git's a distributed version control system, so no excuses. Get back to work! But in all seriousness I kind of wish GitHub provided a way to mirror things like issues and PRs so you never have to be fully reliant on one service. Not being able to read these really does make it impossible to get work done offline.
But they want you to Rely on Github... if they could find away to make Git only work with Github they would in a heart bet. Github is not a open source company, it is not really even a supporter of free software IMO they are a danger to free software for this very reason. They are following the old school Microsoft model of Embrace and Extend... I am waiting to see if they can extinguish,
Sorry, but this is unfair :) I remember the early days of Gitlab, before they added all the insanely cool features they have now, when they were just a Github opensource copycat. My thought at the time was : "wow, github is super cool to let them go. At least the almost exact design copy could be a legal problem". Clearly, we would have heard about Github vs Gitlab back then, if Github wanted to lock people in.

#105I would love to see a chart of traffic to other sites when GitHub goes down. My bet is that HackerNews and Twitter both get significant spikes from all those bored developers.

But of course it is hard to mirror your repo to GitLab.com when GitHub.com is down, so maybe other sites are a better measure.

At GitLab.com we're not seeing an increase in usage: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eiz2h7tdnownvfl/Screenshot%202017-... From http://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/haproxy-stats?refresh...

Another model to look at is Trac, which had pretty extensive integration with SVN and integrated (ie, cross-linked) issue tracking and wiki, and stored all the data and change history in a svn repository.
