    GitHub is almost forever. Your custom domain disappears when you stop paying the bills, which if you’re an open source developer has a higher likelihood than GitHub disappearing.

    One day, we’re all going back to vendoring dependencies.

      go mod vendor... works for me. Also it makes sense for an ecosystem like Go with strong standard lib and strong backward compatibility commitment.

      Also: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;proxy.golang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;proxy.golang.org&#x2F;
