Only if you use github just as a host for your repository. If you use all the other features it provides, migrating is much more difficult.

I have no experience in this but a quick Google search suggests that it is trivial to migrate GitHub issues to GitLab or JIRA:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/importing/import_project...
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/importin...
I rely right now on GitLab for political reasons.
How much in US jurisdiction are they? I do not live in USA and don't want to have anything with that country, specially don't want its long arm of IP law anywhere near me.
GitLab Inc is a US corporation: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/07/01/Operating-as-GitLab-Inc/
You might consider installing your own instance of GitLab hosted in a country that you prefer.
Right, the day before they pull your repo because of a spurious DMCA claim, it's trivial.
Sure, but you probably don't have them locally.
