I really wish there was an option to decouple the core git functionality from the 'fancy' stuff (PRs, actions, issues) etc. When your CI pipeline runs directly from your git repository, not being able to commit/merge means you cannot release to production.

For binary artifacts, you can get around dependencies on a single provider by mirroring, but because git is mutable, you can't just mirror the repo and allow changes there, because you need the same permissions, ssh keys etc. for the repositories and because changes will need to be synced back to the source repository. You might as well not use Github in the first place and self-host (with all the problems that entails).

As far as I know, none of the major git providers offer this - I've experienced outages with GitLab, Bitbucket and GitHub that all affected the production environment (luckily, it's never been critical so far).

That is exactly how GitHub is architectured. There have been a lot of time I've been to able to push/pull but GitHub pages was down or their web backend was down.

Bitbucket is the worst in this regard.
