One alternative is to also push to gitlab/bitbucket/private with some layered snapshots for backups. I still remember all the "free press" github when they nuked all the repos.

Can you explain what you mean by "layered snapshots for backups"? The convention is to push to several remotes because that's part of git's dna, so what's the improvement you're suggesting?

Git isn't immutable, it is possible to destroy a remote repo. So if one really wants verifiable backups, one needs to take an immutable snapshot of some sort.

Like the pentium bug, corporate IT departments everywhere suddenly realized that they used github due to the site wide reset. It was a minor kerfuffle on the net that week.
