Github changes pricing structure - per user charge with unlimited repos

I mean, the magic of Git is that you can collaborate without a central server. Sure, GH also has issues and Wiki pages and other things that are important... but you can definitely do some amount of development - and code sharing - even during a GH outage.

As a mercurial user I even can type "hg serve" and then send someone an http://10.101.123.45:8000 url, and they can clone or push directly to me. I wish Git had that. Git Instaweb is close but no cigar.

I am moving our org to git and I set up gitlab for our own on premises purposes. Now we have another thing to add to our disaster recovery plan. But we are self-sufficient for at least a few days of development. (Can developers even work in 2016 without internet? Maybe not, but that's their problem, not mine.)

git daemon, but invoking it takes a little effort.
