This is very useful for people who do not like browsing HN. And want to have something more worklike to do when their git server goes down.

how does that help for the long long lists of external dependencies, for the bugtrackers of projects where I'd like to look up if someone else had the same issue and maybe there's a workaround, to view and compare code for older revisions of projects I'm using? With a ton of projects now hosted on github, github being down is a major dent in my overall productivity even though we _do_ have an internal git server.
For repositories your projects depend on, you can set up a local proxy so you at least have local copies for continuous integration. E.g. PHP's Composer project has _Toran_ and _Satis_ for this: http://tech.m6web.fr/composer-installation-without-github.ht...

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
Exactly ... we've got Ansible scripts that do that. One of the current Java rockstars (not my description), Adam Bien, recommends pulling the source code for all third-party dependencies to build them locally and put them in a local repository. I suppose you can push directly back upstream to avoid having an extra step.
If you're using Java most of the build tools use the Maven repositories, for which you can set up a local mirror too. The company i work for runs a Sonatype Nexus so we're not really affected by others' downtime unless we need stuff that we hadn't ever used before.
Yes, for our Java projects we have a Nexus repository which mirrors everything locally. It doesn't protect us from someone deleting a project ... then we're stuck on the last available version without a way to address issues, but it's worked pretty well so far.

OK I get what you're saying, but honestly, who is really 'losing productivity'? I suspect the ones saying they are in fact just getting on with other tasks they can do because they are, despite github, still using distributed version control and do have access to and the ability to commit to code repositories. You don't need to host your own git daemon or github clone to get that functionality. I don't use github bec…
I guess no-one else has deployment scripts that pull from github, just because you don't have them.
