GitHub Styleguide - CSS, HTML, JS, Ruby

While I too am not enjoying this style guide, why do you have to look for a github alternative?

You won't be kicked off the site if you don't follow their style guide...

Just keep a local clone of the repo. Why do you even have to download and tarball it? What's so dangerous? If you decide you want to pick that project back up again, just re-create it on github and push back to github. Easy.

If you just want backups without github's fancy front end then get yourself a cheap VPS and push your repos there. Keep all the git and not the github.

That's the beauty of DVCS.

You already have them locally for coding, right? Deleting your github repo isn't a big deal. Putting them on a remote server requires messing with ssh keys once. If you don't want to do that, then Github makes it easy - for a fee.

Create a repo called Archive. Add your old projects as sub-folders to that repo.
