- jackowayed 16y agoYeah, I have several git repos that I don't need to work on now but could want in the future (and can't post publicly) in Dropbox for safe keeping. I deleted them from GitHub so I could stay under my Micro plan's limit. One of the great things about using git :)
- edanm 16y agoThat sounds like a lot of overhead that is best avoided. For me, half the point of these types of services is the "upload and stop worrying" mentality.
- lars512 16y agoI don't really use GitHub, but the same issue comes around with BitBucket. The main obstacle to taking projects off BitBucket is their issue tracker (wiki is cloneable). You don't really want to lose issue history every time you take something off the site. I've been looking at distributed bug trackers such as Bugs Everywhere (http://bugseverywhere.org/be/show/HomePage http://bugseverywhere.org/be/show/HomePage) for this reason.
