Does PlainHub store my data?

No. PlainHub does not store data on its servers. All files are saved directly to your GitHub repository, and data ownership belongs to your GitHub account.

What happens to my data if I stop using PlainHub?

Your data stays in GitHub. It's stored in standard Git format, making migration to other services easy. No data is lost if you stop using PlainHub.

Data Ownership

PlainHub's most important design principle. 100% of your data belongs to your GitHub repository.

Principles

PlainHub stores no data — No proprietary server or database
Data lives in GitHub — All files are saved to your GitHub repository
Your data stays if you leave — Standard Git format means easy migration to other services
100% client-side — Direct communication between browser and GitHub only

Data flow
