Yes; github is a great service and I have now been using it personally & professionally for quite a long time (june 2008) and never had any security issues. There are the occasional downtimes, but as its dvcs thats not really a problem, just push using ssh to your sites instead (wait 5 minutes, make a cup of tea, etc) Like other posters in the thread I agree the real value is the people writing the code, not the code itself. I would say if you're that paranoid about code leaks setup a gitorious server (http://gitorious.org/gitorious) on your network and save the monthly fee (and the worry). You will, however, miss out on the other useful things github has to offer. Every repo now gets its own wiki & issue tracker, so no need for trac. My current favourite feature is gh-pages (http://pages.github.com). You can make a named branch on your repo and it will be hosted as a website. If you have an API that can be your public documentation branch; you can also use it for simple sites (my blog is a github page). All pages are hosted free of charge on their shiny new rackspace servers. These days they also support cnames mapping. Edited for typos... |

You don't know for sure that you haven't had any security problems. All you know is that you haven't noticed the results of any security compromise.
