- jefftk 4y agoAt least for code, git being distributed means that there's always multiple copies with typical workflows. For example, in addition to the copy on GitHub whoever pushed last should have a completely current copy. And everyone else working with the repo should have something pretty current.
- unxdfa 4y agoWe have 643 git repos. I'm not sure we could reconstruct all of those by going round 300 engineers' machines...
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoExactly, its a fantasy Our company has thousands of repos, some of them years old.
- jefftk 4y agoSorry, yes, at that scale I agree backups are worth it.
- akho 4y agoHow do you back up issues/pr discussions?
- unxdfa 4y agoWe don’t track issues in GitHub. PRs are considered disposable.
