Although git was created as a decentralised way to collaborate, the practical needs of day-to-day work have pushed most of us to use it through a centralised platform (generically called a “forge”), of which the most common is Microsoft’s GitHub. That centralisation exposes us to a number of risks, primarily reliance on one forge as a single point of failure, so it’s useful to have an understanding of what other options are out there. This workshop will give you a chance to think through and discuss how you use GitHub, and identify options for replacing or augmenting it with other tools to make your development process more resilient. NB. At time of publication of this record the workshop has been delivered once but is still considered Work In Progress
