Anyone can clone a GitHub user, clone a repo, install a backdoor, that is why git over nostr is necessary, Am I correct?

I think to prevent the censorship and control that Microsoft has over Github and it's users is the main reason a decentralized replacement is desired.

I think the immediate concern is that github, under pressure from governments, could take down the bitcoin core repo

There's technically already a "decentralised" git

It just happens to be running over Ethereum and IPFS lol.

Would be funny to fork a copy of BTC core onto it.

Does that mean Bitcoin itself is at the mercy of Microsoft if the Bitcoin Core repo is on Github?

no I’m sure a lot of people regularly back up the repo. You can do so yourself periodically if you like. It would just be inconvenient and cause a lot of confusion for awhile if they censored it
