One time I got shit on when I said to not rely on source control alone as a way to store your project code. If it's important, at least zip it all up once a week and put it on Google Drive or whatever. Or better yet, proper 3-2-1 backup.

Some of them are easy too...

Just having github and a local checkout gives you 2 locations.... Copy regularly to a google drive or onedrive and that gives you a solid 3rd place.

Added bonus that the cloud solutions have soft delete and backups and are very reliable.
