This depends entirely if you have better uptime than github. (I don't know github's uptime stats.)

That said, it's pretty easy to keep a repo up, so I would guess that if github has a few hours of downtime a year you are still doing better.

Yes we do. 5 nines (that's 5 minutes in a year).

my git repo has remained up 100% of the time - even when github goes down, my repo continues working.

I'm available for consulting if you want this kind of uptime ;-D

I don't believe you. I bet you rebooted your workstation :)
