   the single most important criteria when replacing Github

   Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.

   Is that data stored in a git repository?

     @joeyh interesting, so from your perspective the thing that's kept issues-in-git from catching on is the https://xkcd.com/927/ problem?

     @ocdtrekkie Github wiki, gists, user pages are all stored in git repos. Rest isn't. I don't know about the equivilants on Gitlab.

     Also, https://github-backup.branchable.com/ pulls all the data into a branch (and backs up all repos you star or fork); I wrote it 6 years ago partly to demonstrate feasibiity, partly to not lose information when the inevitable github backlash happened.
