Because this needs to happen as one prepares to push to day's last deploy. Back to backups. Have backups for critical systems, people. In my case, it's building docker containers locally and luckily deploying to one server via ssh.

Because if you don't spend multiple days per year managing your own "backup" to GitHub, you might be left unable to push to GitHub for a few hours per year? btw, I hope none of your CI system relies on build steps that might include pulling code from GitHub or downloading packages from GitHub Package registry. Often when GitHub is down, my CI system on GitLab is broken too.

I like to reduce the single point of failure count in my projects as much as I can, with common sense. My backup system is running a few cli commands instead of git push, so it's a no brainer. YMMV.

How sure are you that none of those commands has a dependency on GitHub infrastructure?

HN should really have a “Down HN” category, as this is the most reliable place to get this information.

Everytime something has degraded performance or is down for me:

1. check my internet connection

2. check HN

3. check official statuspage

Depends on the context. I need to push to a repo and QA needs to test the app, but since I can't push, they can't. No other practical way (other than setting up another origin on Bitbucket or GitLab, or emailing/zipping sending etc).
