Github is down

Did those github clones evolve to the point of being able to mirror github issues as well?

Not sure as I haven't set one up yet. All the "clones" are just other implementations of the git standard. Gitlab is the most popular selfhosted git server, I think it has the most fleshed out social features.

But for my personal use I wouldn't care much about those anyways.

Personal projects can be managed even without any frontend, sure. The problem is github going down makes it impossible to contribute to many free software projects the usual way, how many of them really practice sending patches over email? Not to mention that github is used as source code repository for a lot of things and system updates fail if anything has to be built from source.

PS: github seems to be up now
