Pretty fantastical post, seeing as Github had a severe outage on 1.27.2017. I'd also guesstimate Github has at least 2 to 3 major outages per year (a mix of DDoS and human errors)

Setting up a DigitalOcean droplet or AWS instance would have only added a few dollars and extra minutes to your transfer today. The benefit would be to reduce dependencies on external service that are vital to your core product.

Always remember, when you don't host your code you don't have full control of your code. To me having 100% ownership of your source should be the foundation to any software-driven organization
