This is a good moment to check out http://radicle.xyz/, a peer-to-peer stack for code collaboration based on git and IPFS.

This is the perfect moment to stress that git is decentralized, so you can push/pull directly from you colleagues. The fact that github is down is a only poor excuse for an extended coffee break. ;) (Down from BE)

Unless most of us are stupid enough to use GitHub issues and PRs instead of having that data in the repository itself.

Is there actually something like that? A way to have issues inside the repo?

There is git-notes for embedding information to git objects https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

There is also a project (probably many) for managing patches and/or issues in a git repository, but I can't find any links to it right now (can't access my github stars...)

Edit: there is also a alternative to git that has much of the same functionality of github embedded in the SCM itself, Fossil. https://www.fossil-scm.org

Edit2: GitHub back, think the project I was thinking about above was https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug which describes itself as "Distributed bug tracker embedded in git"

They might be preparing Github for Windows open source.

Also, you can init/clone and host a repo on pretty much any system with SSH access for multiple users. That was my internal goto before git was more common for internal dev.

Surprised to see it being written in Haskell.

Edit: Pleasantly surprised.
