"4. Agree on one place to store all documents, all meeting notes, everything."

This can't be understated. When I ask the founder where the company logo is and they say "it's on one of the external harddrives sitting around the office somewhere", it's incredibly frustrating. The most well-oiled startup I worked for had a perfectly organized central-storage of digital resources, which greatly contributed to the smooth workings of the company.

A scary amount of my life and all my business is now on private repos at github.

That's getting scary.

If you're looking for a self-hosted solution to keep you from becoming overly dependent on Github, take a look at Gitlab [1].

Since you're using Git, all those repos are presumably backed up on individual development machines. Or you could easily write a cron job to mirror them every day or so.

The real problem is other content like issue tracking, wikis, and pull requests. If keeping these is important, you may be locked into the platform, at least as far as existing projects are concerned.
