Legit curious why people think we need a nostr based "github" and what it would solve.

Git is just a prorocol and the website is just a centralized repository for a huge amount of projects. Why can't people just host their own git instance if they really care about decentralization and distribution of code? I know there are a mess of self-hostable gitbhub like sites out there (if you need a website).

Even if it was somehow put on nostr wouldn't people still lean twords centralization and have a "primary relay" where we pull from and whoever runs that relay could still censor or have down time?

It depends on how its implemented on nostr of course so I guess I'll try not to speculate there to much until there is something solid but I just don't see what putting github on nostr solves when its already something that we could activity work on spreading out and making more decentralized without reinventing the wheel.

Same, don't understand the desire at all for git over Nostr, Gitea and Gitlab are easily self-hosted.

Would love someone to explain the reasoning well!
