When will people just host their own GIT?? It’s open source and web hosting services are cheap enough now a days that all you need is a domain and an internet facing server (raspberry pi)with SELinux…

Are you seriously suggesting that companies host their mission critical Git repositories on a Raspberry Pi that they then have to manually manage?

>>slickt+(OP)
I wonder how many people even care that git is involved. I know my personal choice of GitHub has absolutely nothing to do with git. I would use it just as well if it had a different source control system. Indeed I used to use Mercurial and only switched because that's what GitHub demanded. I wasn't out looking for a git host.

Way to take my comment out of context… Read the headline at least…it’s affecting users with free accounts. Obviously not a company and even if it was a company that small…I would never recommend “mission critical” code to be hosted in such way.

Okay fine, but replace "companies" with "people" and remove "mission critical" from my comment and the question still stands. Setting up and managing a Git repository on a Raspberry Pi in your own home is at least an order of magnitude more effort than creating a repository on GitHub or a similar service, and you miss out on all the non-Git-related benefits of using such a service.
