Eh, isn't this sort of distributed sync the point of Git? If GitHub turns evil it'd only really affect people using their Issues product.

If only we had some sort of version control system that didn't rely on a master copy somewhere, a 'distributed' version control system if you will...

"We need some way to distribute open source projects so they're on at least two services simultaneously, synched."
google "git sync mirror" and a bunch of solutions appear.
We use GitLab Mirrors[1] to keep running syncs of our public repos on GitHub mirrored into our self-hosted GitLab server. Works really well and I highly recommend it.

Look into gitlab
With SourceForge putting ads in installers, they're no longer a good option. This leaves GitHub in a monopoly position, which is worrisome. Especially given the terms:
"GitHub, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, or any other GitHub service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your Account. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time."
That could be a problem if GitHub's investors want more revenue generated. We need some way to distribute open source projects so they're on at least two services simultaneously, synched.
