Do. Not. Use. GitHub.
The raison raison d'être for GitHub is and always has been to subvert
the fully distributed workflow that Git was designed to provide and
replace it with their centralized lock-in "solution".
As well as GitHub for several public repos, I have used BitBucket for
several private repositories, as they allowed several, while GitHub
only allowed one. They also have a large number of add on features
around the Git repositories, aimed at lock-in.
Does anyone have online Git servers they use and can recommend? BTW, I
have done Google searches, etc. I'm looking for enthusiastic personal
endorsements.
Used the same as you, but I recently also joined Gitlab, run as a
virtual cooperative corp, as some of my recent adopted upstreams are
hosted there, and getting redundant release announcements is never a
bad thing. I haven't yet added any projects there.
When I adopted mintty, I looked at several platforms and also liked
Gitlab more, but at that time Github was the only platform that offered
seamless migration from Google Code (where mintty was hosted before)
including the complete issue history, which was an unbeatable advantage.
GNOME projects are now hosted there, and Alibaba, IBM, and SpaceX use
it, but as Gitlab servers are on Google Cloud, and subject to US
embargos like BitBucket, GitHub, and SourceForge, a European mirror
https://framagit.org/ (part of the Framasoft non-profit network) on
Debian infrastructure, has been set up to bypass Google and the US, as
well as allow access to/from embargoed countries.
