Yeah, I was hesitant at first but then recently opened an account and now my personal backup strategy is: ‘If it’s not on GitHub it doesn’t exist’. So I make an effort to make everything on my machine public-friendly. E.g. I use my own password generator so I don’t need to store or remember them.
After a fresh OpenBSD install, basically all I need to do is clone my ‘bin’ repo and then execute bootstrap script, which pulls everything else down (via mr) and deploys my dotfiles:
I have the problem where I make new repos for anything and everything; this has spilled over to my bitbucket account as well (which I now use for most of my private repos). Github all the things!
I really hope more companies adopt the GitHub Way ™
I need to set one up, I don’t have any major projects but I have bits of code everywhere.

Still need to compile a couple of things (WM, browser) but that takes a minute to do.
It makes my life simpler, with one less thing to worry about.
Sounds like an interesting strategy. I haven’t started really utilizing GitHub yet but I think it’s a good idea.
