Can you clarify what you are driving at with these questions? First off, a lot of people prefer hosted source repositories other than github (e.g. hub.darcs.net, gitlab.com, My Own Private Server). Github naturally imposes various limitations on their "free" plans.

I'm not getting at anything. I'm genuinely curious.

Personally, I self-host everything on my personal www homepage.

If I did not self-host everything, I assume I would put it up on github, right ?

At the risk of prolonging a pointless line of discussion: what does github have to do with anything in this context?
