GitHub itself got breached this week. Around 4,000 code repositories taken, and the group behind it says they’ll sell the source rather than ask for ransom.

It’s exactly why Zerion treats GitHub as a public mirror, not a dependency. The code is GPLv3 and can live anywhere. Nothing critical relies on it staying up.
