I can tell you from experience that that will never, ever happen.

The most likely outcome is that GitHub will slowly but surely start to bleed open source projects to alternatives like GitLab. And GitHub will continue to live on, like LinkedIn and Skype before it, but it will lose mind share and will no longer be the epicenter of open source development.

Remember SourceForge? Yeah, that's right.
