Ask HN: Git Mirrors. Who's running one? What repos are you mirroring?

3•gooob•2mo ago

I started an effort a few months ago to mirror some essential git repos from github in case github ever goes down or microsoft decides to do some shenanigans.

What repos would you like to mirrored?

And do you know of any existing good mirrors out there that host good repos?

Everything has such a complex web of dependencies, how useful is mirroring a package without mirroring it's dependencies too?

Are there automated tools for mirroring the whole tree?

of course there are.
