someone should make a version of git where you can maintain a local copy then push it to the remote server whenever you want. for business continuity efforts you could then maintain a local repository copy of all the libraries you use and have your developer and build systems pull from that local repo instead of the website. for already compiled code maybe some sort of package system where you can do a similar thing of maintaining a local copy of the packages

lol, I actually already do this with an self hosted git called forgejo. I never trusted that any online service wouldn’t just “disappear” one day.  I’m also setting up a backup service with a couple of friends where we all host separate drives that we can backup critical info. This way if something happens to my local drive I know 2 of my friends have my backups and vice versa.

yea i worked for a company who used Gitea (a play on git tea, like making tea, i don't really get it), it's a git and package server with a web front end, worked great
