I'm not sure having a hard dependency on github is a good idea, I think approaches like that are giving github/microsoft too much power.

Installing from a generic git URL tends to work just fine, even if it's a bit more typing.

Yeah the useful thing is namespaces, I agree it would be good to not tie it to any given platform. I remember the cargo (rust) folks discussed including some way to have a namespace. I don't remember the details but I was disappointed they decided not to go that route.
