Abandon GitHub
Reading through some of these issues, one statement stood out the most: Politics have no place in the Foss community
While GitHub may offer a free tier, as far as I know, they are NOT open source.
I have no solution as to how to get access to your repositories again, but for the future I recommend self hosting GitLab Community Edition. I'm not 100% this will be a good solution, but it is definitely a decent temporary one. Feature wise it should be the same for the most part.
A further, more long term goal, I would like to see (and contribute to) would be for us as a community to build our own git front end. One that is fully managed by the FOSS community, and not a company that may be forced to implement restrictions because of their country's government.
How do you all feel about this?
