Yeah, but it needs a address to point to, to work with others repositories. Which with http is centralized. Wouldn't be with a distributed protocol.

    I don’t think you know how git works

    I do know that it keeps a local copy of the repo. But it's not designed to work with a pool, so it needs a specific address to work together/clone/share repos.

    I'm by no means an expert in git, did i overlook something?

    Technically you can add as many remotes to a repo as you want and push/pull to any/all of them. Might be annoying though

    Its quite common in some industries. Lots of different git remote references no github. It works well when you dont care or dont want piulic repos out in the wild.

    I used to do a ton of contract work that way. It went away forva bit but about 3 years ago its coming back. Ive heard complaits about ai and that github is much less stable.

    You cant have downtime in some industries.
