GitHub get's "taken down" by "DDOS" on a fairly regular basis...

github-no-server-available-error

major-service-outage

See:

Should we consider "backing up" our GitHub issues in case the DDOS is worse the next time....?

@nelsonic I think this sounds great. I have been thinking about making something that pulls down issues / pulls / branches to my pc so I can work when I have no internet. Can we combine these two ideas?

@des-des!!

heck yeah!

We need to back-up everything so that we don't fear the git push --f from a joker or noob

push all the buttons

also, it might be worth getting @gabrielperales involved at some stage
because this might be a tool that is useful to people
who are considering migrating from GitHub to GitLab...
see: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/09/13/gitlab-master-plan/

Not that I don't love GitHub... 😍
just that some people prefer to have a "backup plan"... 😉

For people who wants to play with Haskell it might be worth to see if we can use this repo: https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup

"In case something happens to GitHub. More generally because keeping your data in the cloud and relying on the cloud to back it up is foolish."

@SimonLab that sounds like a perfect way to learn Haskell! 😉
I knew someone would have done something like this already. ✨
(less work for us!)

@SimonLab have you tried the github-backup Haskell project?
(I tried it last week but could not get it to compile... so gave up and went back to my work...)
If you are able to get it working on your laptop, would mind showing it to me some time?
