Github Archive Program

On 02/02/2020 GitHub cap­tured a snap­shot of every ac­tive pub­lic repos­i­tory. Those mil­lions of re­pos were then archived to hard­ened film de­signed to last for 1,000 years, and stored in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault in a de­com­mis­sioned coal mine deep be­neath an Arctic moun­tain in Svalbard, Norway.
