@onlinepersona @hunger have you tried hosting your own git repo? I never thought I'd live to see git, of all things, being considered "proprietary service". Also Hunger suggested using more than one server, which means it's not completely centralized.
There's really no meed for p2p crypto magic here, git just works
git is open source. Github as in the repository hosting service is owned by Microsoft, a company for whom the phrase "for profit" isn't severe enough a description.
But it couldn't be easier to just set up a second remote, that isn't GitHub with just vanilla Git, if you don't trust Microsoft (Or even fully switching to a different remote). Why is there a need for something else in addition?
I'm not sure if you're making a bad faith argument or genuinely didn't understand I was referencing github.
Also, where is the crypto magic? The website doesn't mention crypto at all...

The sixth point in the original comment links to the cryptocurrency association.
So there's nothing in the code about crypto then?
