When they bootstrapped, weren't they called Logical Awesome? :)

#12I'm a little paranoid about my code. I want to like github's private repos, but I don't want my code to be stolen by github's internal employees. I've heard that their employees do shady things on occasion (2nd hand knowledge).
If you want a similar solution to GH instead of just a bare Git installation, you could look into running your own GitLab instance. Their software is open source and freely available. Of course, that way you would have to trust your hoster unless you are running your own in-house server.

#13Legitimate question. Do you think GitHub would accept a lucrative offer from Google? On the order of billions of dollars. How would that look? Where would we all be then? How much would it change things? Is it even realistic?

I wonder whether something like [0] would work, where the repository is encrypted on push and decrypted on pull. Might be against Github's terms of use, though.

#16With a bit of work their Enterprise product could be huge... it's a real shame they've not invested in it properly.
We've done an enormous amount of work on GitHub Enterprise over the past year. Click on any of the release headings for the 2.x series at https://enterprise.github.com/releases and you'll see the pace at which we've been shipping features enterprises have been asking for. If it's been a little while since you checked it out I'd recommend looking at it again :)
Can I email you some information on why a large company I interned at mentioned they didn't use Github (they were adopting Atlassian)? I'd rather not post here but happy to share.

Actually, I don't think today's Google would make that bet because of challenges in monetizing it without actually incurring a customer service overhead.

Please do! Shoot me an email at pauln@github.com; the feedback would be very appreciated.

that's a really cool idea.

I think it's perfectly realistic, and wouldn't necessarily mean things would go south post take over. YouTube is still very much alive, brand and all, and it's been many years since the take over.
