Why not just keep them locally? It’s a full copy of the project, independent of the copy on Github. Git doesn’t need, or even have the concept of, a Big Central Server. It’s just that you can push/pull to/from other computers, and Github is one of those. Your local repository is on equal footing with Github (except for the fact that the project devs don’t consider it official, obviously).

Great idea, Frost. It’s just that l’m working on a potato machine.

Hm? Like, lack of disk space or?
If it’s potato in the sense of CPU specs, you don’t need a non-potato machine for this stuff.
Also if you’ve already cloned a project you’ve already got the history (unless you specifically told git not to do that). It generally isn’t huge. So like, you don’t even need tons of disk space unless you want to download a metric buttload of projects and/or they’re weirdly huge and long-historied (I bet the linux kernel repo is pretty big for instance).
