Ignoring the fact that what people actually do with GitHub, git is such a small part. Issues, PRs, CI/CD and basically everything that isn't git, doesn't happen over git (besides the wiki, which somehow miraculously actually is via git).

Some people have their entire roadmap in GitHub, and every single bug report / feature request, without any offline backup. Don't ask me why, I don't get it. Especially since they have proven for the last few years that they cannot keep the platform up in a stable manner.

I mean, you joke but that's actually fairly true. P4 users always notice when the central server goes down because you can't reliably look at changelist history, draft CLs, and do a host of other operations that are possible on git locally. (using a central VCS confers other advantages of course).

You're kidding right? People / companies rely on git being available for deployments, builds, config changes, developer workflow etc
